Victim Quotes - Page 9

• ¿Cómo es posible vivir en un mundo donde la gente puede gobernar a millones de personas? Es increíble. Es como si hubiéramos vuelto al siglo XII. Eso es lo que pasa cuando decapitas a la intelligentsia y traumatizas y brutalizas repetidamente a un país durante décadas y décadas: no consigues virtud. Las víctimas no hacen buenas personas.

• I was a sick child, I was scared, and honestly speaking, I never thought about why I didn't tell anyone about my abuse. Abuse victims don't have all the answers, and I never thought it was abuse. My generation was totally different. Now a small child knows many things, much more than what we knew. When I understood it was not right, it was much later.

• Noam Chomsky is, in some ways, a victim of this new millennium we live in because you can't pull a sound bite from that guy and understand what he is talking about. You have to hear the whole paragraph. You have to hear the whole page. You've got to hear the whole conversation if you really want to understand it and that could change your life.

• The writing that most interests me isn't about narcos or sicarios or police or whatever. It's about the victims and the survivors, and about the suffering and trauma that so many in Mexico and Central America endure, and that is all around us whether we notice it or not.

• Los estudiantes de las universidades residenciales a menudo viven juntos y dedican tiempo a actividades que no están relacionadas con la universidad. Entonces, ¿deberían las normas de la universidad sobre consentimiento sexual extenderse a la vida privada de los estudiantes? En mi libro, sostengo que estas estrechas normas deberían extenderse a la vida privada de los estudiantes, sin importar qué o dónde estén llevando a cabo esa vida. La lógica es que la agresión sexual es una forma de discriminación y niega a la víctima una educación igualitaria. El objetivo de la vida universitaria es obtener ese diploma y nada debería interponerse en el camino.

• When we speak about climate change, you're a victim of something ... which is happening with deep roots where you don't have - anything to deal with. And people just want to choose a life. That's very much important. And I think one of the key elements of the collective battle we have today, in order to fight against climate change is to provide people the ability to choose a life. To have a better life by behaving differently, by innovating, by creating new type of companies and startups, new type of activities.

• Si pensamos que la mayoría de los asesinatos se producen entre personas que se conocen, es muy fácil averiguar quién es el asesino. Pero cuando hay un asesinato que parece aleatorio, en el que la persona no es alguien que esté dentro del radio conocido de la víctima, entonces es mucho, mucho más difícil de resolver.

• That's why I think it's important to revisit the story of Jonestown. I hope readers come away with a greater compassion for Jim Jones's victims, a third of whom were minors. To get a feeling for what it was like to be in their situation.

• When people want to inspire you to turn against some group of people, they'll often use empathy. When Obama wanted to bomb Syria, he drew our attention to the victims of chemical warfare. And in both of the Iraq wars, politicians said, "Look at the horrific things that are happening." I'm not a pacifist. I think the suffering of innocent people can be a catalyst for moral action. But empathy puts too much weight on the scale in favor of war. Empathy can really lead to violence.

• I was pregnant with my youngest child at the time, writing about mass death while I'm growing this precious little life inside me. Here I am, worried about everything I eat and drink and whether I walk past a smoker, and meanwhile I'm writing about an event where almost three hundred children were slaughtered. Most were never identified and are buried in a mass grave in Oakland. It was surreal. But it felt good to give Jim Jones's victims a voice, especially ordinary church members.

• There are several dozen political prisoners in Russia. When I cite that number people are often very surprised. They often think there are more. Well - there are hundreds of thousands of people who haven't had a fair trial, who are victims of the political system. But in the Amnesty International sense of the word, most of them are not political prisoners because they are not going to prison for protesting.

• El asesinato es único en el sentido de que suprime a la parte a la que lesiona, de modo que la sociedad tiene que ocupar el lugar de la víctima y, en su nombre, exigir expiación o conceder el perdón; es el único delito en el que la sociedad tiene un interés directo.
