Quotes edit see section history

  • “Iqbal stood up and drew himself to his tallest, which actually wasn't very tall. He looked immensely tall to us, though, as if he could touch the ceiling. "I'm not afraid," he said. "I'm not afraid of anybody."”
    Fatima
  • “"...So long as there's a child in this world who is deprived of his childhood, a child who is beaten, violated, or exploited, nobody can say: It's not my business. That's not true. It's your business, too. And it's not true that there's no hope. Look at me. I had hope. Ladies and gentlemen, you must have courage..."”
    Iqbal Masih
