A Quote by Sheri S. Tepper
Conflict acting on intelligence creates imagination. Faced with conflict, creatures are forced to imagine what will happen, where the next threat will come from. If there has never been conflict, imagination never develops. Wits arise in answer to danger, to pain, to tragedy. No one ever got smarter eating easy apples.

We can and must ensure the human rights of the displaced. That begins by making their voices heard.
