Mariane Pearl quotes:

In 2014, impunity in journalism murder cases reached a staggering 96 percent and the remaining 4 percent obtained only partial justice, we have become targets. Insurgent groups no longer use reporters to transmit news, but instead kidnap them to make news. They treat us as enemy combatants and spies. This is our everyday reality.

Every person who dedicates his or her life to something that belongs to the greater good is very meaningful.

Do not compare yourself to others. You have a unique destiny and mission that only you can accomplish.

Everyone has the capacity for courage. We don't need to face extreme circumstances to become admirable people.

I knew that if I wanted to survive, it wasn't about healing or trying to forget. It was about how I could use my life to answer what had happened to us. In many ways, it saved my life.

Try to avoid complaints. Self-pity even when legitimate never fails to undermine your strength.

Personally, I believe there's a limitation to how much politics can change the world--but there's no limitation to how much individuals can change the world.
