"Tell a person they are brave and you help them become so."

Thomas Carlyle

It was words of love, empathy, and solidarity from my family that enabled
me to become and remain brave in the face of the gross brutality and
injustice that I experienced several years ago, as described in my book,
No One Will Ever Tell!  Those who have experienced persecutions
from governments, institutions, or "authorities," yet continue to maintain
their dignity and, as Anna Pavlova puts it, "follow without halt, one aim,"
have done so because there have been others who have inspired their
bravery by words or deeds.
