REALITY?: Quotations

Never really noticed before, the daily quotation on my home page.  But today’s made me pause:

That’s what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end.
         – Lise Hand, describing Irish journalist Veronica Guerin, who was killed as a result of her investigations of Irish organized crime.

That gem is tough and hard, a diamond cut into many facets that direct the glow in all directions, yet also presents a hard flat surface to anything that dares to mark its bloom.

This, then, is what my father tried to tell me that I resisted for so long.  The passing years can, more easily than any other natural occurence of earth, can penetrate the diamond in our mind.

There does exist a right and wrong.  The balance though has shifted in the popular opinion.
