Quote of the Day

On the death of the young Iranian woman known as Neda:
I finally looked at her picture, and she looked familiar somehow. I think we have a statue of her in the harbor at New York. Delacroix caught a glimpse of her once on a barricade in Paris. She carried water to the cannon crews at Monmouth, and drove a chariot at Watling Street. She cut off Holophernes’ head.
She will be missed, but she will be back. She’s that kind of girl.

A brilliant quote/statement!
To be honest, I think it’s one of the most eloquently profound things I’ve ever read.
