"People often ask me why I have spent most of my life concerned with the consequences of conflict and violence. The simple answer is, why not?

The honest answer is difficult. It is about the suffering of refugees. It is about the short life of compassion, how quickly it is born and how quickly it dies. It is about the stranger to whom we owe nothing. It is how our society will be judged and how we discover our humanity. It is finding our reward through the eyes of those to whom we owe nothing. It is about love."
