The world is addicted to it" -- Bill Cosby me and all my friends we're all misunderstood they say we stand for nothing and there's no way we ever could now we see everything that's going wrong with the world and those who lead it we just feel like we don't have the means to rise above and beat it -- John Mayer "We are meeting here to put an end to this cycle [of violence], to put things back in order and to put the wheel of peace on the right track. The task is very great, but our hopes are greater" "It seems to me that any sensible person must see that violence does not change the world and if it does, then only temporarily." "We know that many boys and girls leave school because of poverty, because they have to work. However, there are an important number of children who abandon their studies because of the abuses they're subject to by teachers and their own parents." -- Shakira "We have to promote human solidarity, avoid indifference, and play a part with society in the solution of the problem of violence..." -- Shakira "The schools play an important role when it comes down to protecting children against violence.Violence is one of the principal reasons why children don't go to school. It's also one of the causes of the alarming school dropout rates." -- Shakira
