First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller

First the came for the rivers and seas, and I did not speak out because I am not a fish.
Then they came for the earth and the soils and I did not speak out – because I am not a plant or a worm
Then they came for the trees and the forests and I did not speak out – because I am not a bird or a beast.
Then they came for the air, the oxygen – and I did not speak out because I could no longer breathe.
– Julie Leoni
