" Remembering is always about some degree of forgetting. The task is to keep reminding ourselves what is worth remembering." "Help those who cannot help themselves and protect those who cannot protect themselves."

Everybody wants their name,
To be known, the lights, the fame,
Everybody wants to see,
Who they really are and want to be,
Real or fake, you are who you are,
And like the end I am afar,
Don’t try to catch me,
Causes like a bird I am free,
Up above, or down below,
Only God knows where I shall go.
