Bianca Jagger The cemetery of the victims of human cruelty in our century is extended to include yet another vast cemetery, that of the unborn. Pope John Paul II The conflict in Darfur could escalate to where we're seeing 100,000 victims per month. Nicholas D. Kristof The Crime Victims Fund is distributed to service providers who assist millions of crime victims annually throughout our communities in a host of ways. It is paid for by fines levied on criminals, not taxpayers. Jim Costa The Defense Department must do a better job of providing the best possible care for service women who are victims of sexual assault. Louise Slaughter The East Timorese government does not believe that we should consider compensation for the victims because there are tens of thousands of people who were, in one way or another, affected by the violence either directly or indirectly. Jose Ramos-Horta The first lines of defence against criminals are the victims themselves. Michael Badnarik The friendlies were South Vietnamese women and children, helpless victims in a war they did not understand. John Whitehead The generosity of the American public toward the victims of Hurricane Katrina and the Tsunami has been reflected in the outpouring of support for the Pakistani earthquake victims. Jon Porter The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one. Adolf Hitler The innocent are so few that two of them seldom meet - when they do meet, their victims lie strewn all round. Elizabeth Bowen The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley The one noticeable similarity with almost all serial killer victims is their short height and low weight. Pat Brown The primary victims of Katrina, those who were given the least help by the government, those rescued last or not at all, were overwhelmingly people of color largely hidden from the mainstream of society. Jonathan Kozol The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures; the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement - but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims. Joseph Conrad The Second World War claimed tens of millions of victims. Jean-Marie Le Pen The weapon of suicide bombing is so desperate that you aren't even left with the possibility of taking revenge or punishing anyone; the terrorist is killed along with his victims, his blood mixing with theirs. A. B. Yehoshua The word survivor suggests someone who has emerged alive from a plane crash or a natural disaster. But the word can also refer to the loved ones of murder victims, and this was the sense in which it was used at a four-day conference in early June at Boston College. Godfried Danneels There are people who are suffering beyond description. They are innocent people, they didn't bring this upon themselves. They are the victims of the sins of other people. And while it's hard to see, it's important to understand that these people exist. Mia Farrow There has certainly been criticism of the timing involved in getting help to the victims of the storm, and much of it may indeed be warranted. However, this is not the time for pointing fingers; rather, it is the time for offering a helping hand to our neighbors in need. Jo Bonner |
