QUOTES
Some of Mariska’s favourite quotes.
“It is only when individuals decide not to repeat the wrongs committed unto them, and in fact to do the opposite unto others, that humanity, as a collective, has a chance of bettering itself.”
“Thus guilt and responsibility are forward-looking, saying that we still have the power within us to act further and produce better outcomes.”
