Charity Quote by Cory Doctorow

“Strong and weak isn't 'what' you do, it's 'why' you do it." He paused. She was about to say something. "Also what you do. It's not charity or no-blesse oblige to treat people like they're all equally worthy, even if they aren't all equally 'useful' - whatever useful means.” quote by Cory Doctorow — Download Open image
