“Why are we surprised when fig trees bear figs?”— Margaret Titzel Related Quotes “The sight of a palm tree silhouetted against the sky made even his life feel like a movie”— Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich “If we have learned anything from the liberation movements, we should have learned how difficult it is to be aware of the ways in which we discriminate until they are forcefully pointed out to us.

And to act so is immoral.”— Leo Tolstoy
