    Hazel Rochman (1993). “Against Borders: Promoting Books for a Multicultural World”, Chicago : American Library Association

  • In a composite Nation like ours, made up of almost every variety of the human family, there should be, as before the Law, no rich, no poor, no high, no low, no black, no white, but one country, one citizenship equal rights and a common destiny for all. A government that cannot or does not protect the humblest citizen in his right to life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness, should be reformed or overthrown, without delay.

We all desire happiness and do not want suffering.

    Nobel Lecture, www.nobelprize.org. December 10, 2005.
  • If we could but recognize our common humanity, that we do belong together, that our destinies are bound up in one another's, that we can be free only together, that we can be human only together, then a glorious world would come into being where all of us lived harmoniously together as members of one family, the human family.
