Indifference, to me, is the epitome of evil.

What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.

Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

Even in darkness it is possible to create light.

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.

To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all.

Nothing is more misleading to the youth of a nation than to state the outcome immediately after the beginning as if nothing could have taken place in between.

You can quit smoking, and never have to have a cigarette again to survive. But with food, it is a daily challenge.

Living in Korea as a girl meant living under a lot of discrimination and limitation. It was the same in my university and in the Korean literary world I am involved in now.

Between God and Me there is no 'Between'.

I'm focused on what I'm doing and nothing can stop that.

Genetic engineering has never been about saving the world, it's about controlling the world.
