He who fights, can lose. He who doesn’t fight, has already lost.
Bertolt Brecht
Era giunta l’ora di resistere; era giunta l’ora di essere uomini: di morire da uomini per vivere da uomini.“
The time had come to resist; the time had come to be men: to die as men to live as men.”
Piero Calamandrei
First, they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Martin Niemöller
