The candle burns not for us, but for all those whom we failed to rescue from prison, who were shot on the way to prison, who were tortured, who were kidnapped, who 'disappeared'. That's what the candle is for.

~Peter Benenson, founder of Amnesty International

If someone needs to express their gender in a way that is different, that is okay. They don’t deserve to be victims of violence. If you are uncomfortable with it, then you need to look at yourself.

~Laverne Cox, American actress

Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free.

~14th Dalai Lama

You cannot kill the truth. You cannot kill justice. You cannot kill what we are fighting for.

~Jean Dominique, Haitian democracy activist

There can be no peace without justice and respect for human rights.

~Irene Khan, Bangladeshi lawyer and former Secretary General of Amnesty International

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

~Martin Luther King, African-American civil rights activist
