Notable quotes to inspire

From Belle, in the UK

I was very interested to read your post, here we seem so detached from these events. Now the main media have largely moved on, it is vital to keep an awareness of how far peoples' aspirations are being realised - or not.

I recently read about the novelist Alaa Al Aswany, and loved his quote:
 "When you overcome the barrier of fear it is irreversible."
I hope that ‘must’ be true, and the people will not allow the old ways to survive.

And here's another quote from Alaa Al Aswany which is very succinct:
 "The trick now is to institutionalise the values of the revolution."
