Desmond Tutu
"While women weep, as they do now, I`ll fight; while children go hungry, as they do now, I`ll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do, I`ll fight; while there is one drunkard left, while there is a poor girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I`ll fight — I`ll fight to the very end!"

1.3 million more mouths to feed each year. Of all the people who have ever lived on earth, 1/2 are alive today. We are gnawing the planet bare.
“There can be few things worse than unconsciously saving things up to tell someone you will never see again.”
