256. Sunflower For Iranian Prisoners

2009.07.30

You can grow a flower behind barbed wire, but that will not destroy it's beauty. You can keep a man behind barbed wire, but that doesn't mean you can destroy his spirit.

The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose ones attitude in any given circumstance.”
[Viktor Frankl]
