I will not give you the satisfaction of hating you. You want it, but to respond to hatred with anger would be to give in to the same ignorance that made you what you are. You would like me to be scared, for me to look at my fellow citizens with a suspicious eye, for me to sacrifice my liberty for my security. You have lost.
--Antoine Leiris (a journalist at the French radio network France Bleu, whose wife, Hélène Muyal, was murdered at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris)
