“One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.” — Erich Maria Remarque (or Stalin?)
This quote echoes louder with every headline from Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, or Congo. Wars rage on, and the numbers grow — thousands dead, millions displaced. But each of those numbers hides a name, a face, a family. It’s easy to become numb. This quote reminds me to resist that. Behind every statistic is a tragedy that matters.
