Quotable Quote

And that we owe it to ourselves and our fellows to follow the dictum of the great philosopher and pacifist Bertrand Russell:
“Be isolated, be ignored, be attacked,
be in doubt, be frightened, but do not be silenced.”


Comments:
Very interesting quote. Cuma nak tanya, aren't all these things the reasons why people choose to be silent in the first place? Especially yg part "be frightened" tu.
 
An interesting comment from Skye. Am eager to read the response from Ummi.
 
Dear cskye & pycnogenol,Bertrand Russel,I think, urged us to overcome them.
For Muslims, most of all, whose "takut" only to Allah.
& remenber, bersatu hati senantiasa teguh!
Bertrand Russell did not believe in Allah, so did and many present,say, human rights activits.
 
Essentialy my interpretion of that quote:

How oppressed a person is, the one thing he should withold is the freedom of voicing out.
