Dear Government... I'm going to have a serious talk with you if I ever find anyone to talk to.

Stieg Larsson
About This Quote

This quote is an excellent example of the power of how one person can change the world around them. After years of imprisonment, Nelson Mandela finally reached his goal. He had been elected president of South Africa, and people were starting to see that he was just as brave as they had always believed him to be. But Mandela wanted to do more than make people think he was a hero.

He wanted to make them believe in the possibility of a better future where all people are treated equally. To do that, he opened his heart and mind to the world. And now, the people of South Africa are making strides towards changing their own government.

By showing their strength and bravery, they are showing the world that they are not afraid to change it too.
