Toward Healing | Powerful Quotes to Find Our Voice

The isolation of victims of bullying is one of the main factors contributing to the reinforcing loop escalating episodes of bullying. Meaningful quotes can make us feel less alone and also motivate to speak up and find our voice again.

The 1986 Nobel Laureate Elie Weisel stated:

"We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference."

"There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. "

I found the quotes below in the blog Bullying of Academics in Higher Education

"Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence." 

Leonardo da Vinci - 

"All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men [or good women] do nothing." 

Edmund Burke -

Vitruvian Yoga | Vinyasa Flow, Virabhadrasana 1 & 2

The "Vitruvian Man" by Leonardo da Vinci is a well know example of human proportions visualized as artwork. I started using the rigorous geometric definition of the human body used by Leonardo da Vinci in the Vitruvian Man to explore different ways to inscribe human movements in dynamic geometric forms.
