Alissa’s Quotes

“Justice is not natural among people, but the struggle for justice is the most noble act in society. Because justice may not be possible, but as it’s the way toward the desired society for each one to live in, that’s why its struggle is noble and regard as the highest act.”
― Zaman Ali, GOVERNMENT Servant, Not Master
