3 December 2020 Mahatma Gandhi I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.

3 December 2020 Samantha Morton I respond very well to well-written material and women who have had an effect on society, something tragic or monumental has happened to them.
