Quotations

“Silence is complicity because silence is consent.”

“What gets our attention is what gives our lives meaning.”

“Our greatest need today is to transform hate and violence, the toxic sludge that’s coursing through our information ecosystem.”

“Part of how we at Rappler survived the last 5 years of government attacks is because of the kindness of strangers, and the reason they help – despite the danger – is because they want to, with little expectation of anything in return.”
