"Diversity is not an abnormality but the very reality of our planet.
The human world manifests the same reality and will not seek our permission to celebrate itself in the magnificence of its endless varieties.
Civility is a sensible attribute in this kind of world we have; narrowness of heart and mind is not."


“When suffering knocks at your door and you say there is no seat for him,
he tells you not to worry because he has brought his own stool.”

~ Chinua Achebe

Lumière:
