"Talk to people who have experienced some sort of violence...Listen to their emotion as well as their words. In the UK we tend to underestimate emotions and be embarrassed by them. We should channel our anger, sorrow & anxiety. That way, we can help people to move on" Elif Shafak

"...we've a roof over our heads & the opportunity to contribute to the arts. Homelessness is a terrifying prospect. To be creative & unable to pursue that creativity is soul destroying & means that the world misses out on talent."
