Quotes from:
Inter-Parliamentary Union For Democracy For Everyone
www.ipu.org

Democracy doesn't recognize east or west; democracy is simply people's will. Therefore, I do not acknowledge that there are various models of democracy; there is just democracy itself.
Albert Moravia

Peace cannot exist without justice, justice cannot exist without fairness, fairness cannot exist without development, development cannot exist without democracy, democracy cannot exist without respect for the identity and worth of cultures and peoples.
Carl A Schenck

Sympathy
I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised
and his bosom sore, _
When he beats his bars and
he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee.
But a prayer that he sends
from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to
Heaven, he flings_
I know why the caged bird
sings!
Paul Laurence Dunbar
