“Do you know, Watson," said he, "that it is one of the curses of a mind with a turn like mine that I must look at everything with reference to my own special subject. You look at these scattered houses, and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at them, and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed there.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories, Volume I

“Any nose
May ravage with impunity a rose.”
― Robert Browning, Sordello

“From my keen observation, it is a very sad fact that the Philippines�� current administration's drug war crisis has fully pressed the pedal of acceleration to more division, hatred, cycles of violence (copycat killings, summary killings, extra judicial killings, collateral victims of drug war), toxic revenge, and perpetual impunity. ~ Angelica Hopes, reflections on Drug War in the Philippines”

“For how long would you row in a boat of suffering, resiliency, despair, grief, pain, and loss, a fragile boat of apathy and fearful silence, as you sail along the huge waves of corruption, storms of kakistocracy and kleptocracy, the windy whiplash of painful injustice, the tumultuous, continuous waves of violence, and the bloody sea of impunity engulfing indefinitely the Pearl of the Orient Seas?

“مصونیت سیاسی چیز مقدسی است. آدم را به قدری خوب از همۀ بلایا حفظ می کند که عاقبت زیرابتان از داخل زده می شود. حباب شیشه ای که حافظ شماست دست آخر خفه تان می کند”

“Don't let cycles of violent crimes, uncontrollable, rising cases of bloody impunity, evil puppets in a crippled judiciary, marionettes in a corrupted legislative system manipulated by a fascist executive system and its annihilative corruption be the incurable epidemics of the disintegration of the environmental, emotional, social, intellectual, physical, professional, occupational, moral and ethical destruction of your homeland. ~ Angelica Hopes, K.H. Trilogy”

“Perhaps this is why not one of 800 sexologists attending a conference raised a hand when asked if they would trust a thin rubber sheath to protect them during intercourse with a known HIV-infected person. I don't blame them. They're not crazy, after all. Yet they're perfectly willing to tell your generation that "safe sex" is within reach and you can sleep around with impunity. It is a terrible lie.”
― James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: A Young Adult's Guide to a Meaningful Future

“The way the elderly extol their good old days leaves the youth almost concluding that there were no rascals. The reality is the absurdity that they are the remnant of men who with impunity plunged humanity into the impurity of putridity and calamity.”

“Kleptocracy, corruption, injustice, dirty politics, unscrupulous political movers, patronage politics, destructive and corrupt political dynasties, and impunity have found perpetual happiness in the Pearl of the Orient Seas.
There are so many endless questions:
What have you done?
What are you going to do?
Will silence, apathy, vindictiveness, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, psychological abuse and economic abuse go on?
Will you just go with the flow of kleptocracy, corruption, injustice and impunity?
When will you ever genuinely decolonise your mind from colonial mentality?
Will you live and work upholding truth and honesty as you continue to help strengthen the country's collective memory of various factual incidents in history without being politically biased?
Are you one of those who committed revisionism, cancelling out, discrediting others, peddled disinformation, calumny, gossip-mongering, fear-mongering, destructive lies, group political narcissist bullying, harassing, blaming, gloating, provoking, sabotaging, intimidating, threatening, abusing others as you are more loyal to a political party than the truth?
Will there be honest public servants and honest lawmakers?
Because with honesty as a top living value, you can find effective solutions to many issues in society.
Are you willing to help minimise, stop and eliminate corruption, violence, injustice and impunity?
Are you going to be one of those honest voices for the voiceless without breaking the law?
Are you going to help hold accountable those thieves, perpetrators, scammers, and corrupt members of society without breaking the law?
I have so many nagging questions, but I shall always end it with these:
Will you be honest in every deal?
How hard is it to be truthful?
Will you uphold the truth and justice?
Do the fact and truth whisper to your conscience?
Then, are you willing to honestly listen to it and move toward the right, lawful and humane actions?

― DON SANTO
