“The differences between cultures is easy enough to see.  But I think the similarities are far greater and more important.  No matter which culture they belong to, mothers everywhere love their children.  Around the world, you, me, our families – we all feel love the same way.  If we are in a fight and get hurt, we all cry.  We all feel pain in the same way.  We all feel sorrow, anger, disillusionment in the same way.  We all hunger in the same way.  And we dream of freedom in the same way.  This is why human rights matter.”
