If anything, discouragement should drive you to open your own doors and design your own future.” President Luis Guillermo Solís Rivera “We should not take democracies for granted. It’s becoming more and more common to see how they can fail.” Robert Satloff “Is America better off trying to invest its resources to address problems in the Middle East before they become crises, or to protect ourselves from the export of those crises to the United States?” Karen M. Davis “It is important to have women in technology fields. If everyone is the same on your team you do not leave room for innovation.” Tarana Burke “We won’t survive if we don’t do everything we can to change society’s relationship to and understanding of and complicity with sexual violence.” Nadia Murad, Nobel Peace Prize Winner “I fear this will happen again, and we women, must speak up simply because we are the victims.” Kathy Tran “There is not a finite amount of freedom in this country. This is not a pie where there are only so many pieces to give away.” General Joseph F. Dunford Jr. “We work for the American people and we’re conscious of that.” Issac Bailey “As a black journalist I’m walking a tight line between not making things worse by downplaying problems within the black community, and not validating racial stereotypes.” Tara Westover “What my education gave me was perspective—that the life I was leading was just one of many possible lives—and the will to choose.” Dr. Célestin Monga “There is no problem that any African country is facing today that hasn’t been seen elsewhere and successfully addressed.” Deborah E. Lipstadt “Sometime it’s concrete actions on the ground that might sound like small stuff, but it begins with recognizing the other’s humanity.” Duke in Action Duke Origins | John Santoianni Between Duke Chapel, the divinity school, and the university’s music department Duke is home to 8 harpsichords and 12 organs.
