Famous quotes containing the word victims:

    Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.
    Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

    ... tyrants deserve to be the victims of tyrants.
    Jeanne De Hericourt (1809–1875)

    When I can no longer bear to think of the victims of broken homes, I begin to think of the victims of intact ones.
    Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
