4 February: Rosa Parks Quotes

Rosa Parks celebrated her birthday on 4 February. Here are some quotes by Rosa Parks.

1. Each person must live their life as a model for others.
2. I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.
3. I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free... so other people would be also free.
4. Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.
5. Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today’s mighty oak is yesterday’s nut that held its ground.
6. You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.
7. I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.
8. Time begins the healing process of wounds cut deeply by oppression. We soothe ourselves with the salve of attempted indifference.
9. There is just so much hurt, disappointment, and oppression one can take… The line between reason and madness grows thinner.
10. As far back as I can remember, I knew there was something wrong with our way of life when people could be mistreated because of the colour of their skin.

A Tale of Two Sisters

During a battle with supervillains, a horrific accident leaves the Warner family with no option but to believe their youngest daughter, Jessica, is dead. It doesn't occur to them that the bad guys could, or would, save her.

Jessica wakes up with no memory of who she is or how she came to be on a space station with two bionic legs, a bionic arm and a bionic eye. She is told her family abandoned her and is sent back to Earth with a mission - to kill them. While Jessica wants to kill her family, along with the twin boys who once rejected her, she knows what the Alliance of Supervillains are asking her to do is a suicide mission. She decides to get her revenge in her own way.

As Jessica puts the first part of her revenge plan in motion, she finds herself with an agonising decision to make. Before she can decide, the Alliance come for her, determined to make her do their bidding. This time, it's the Alliance who leave her, crippled and at the mercy of the Warner family, who have no idea who the Alliance's Black Rose really is.

Jessica finds herself having to re-think her decisions in light of what she now learns about her family, the Alliance, the twins, and herself. It would appear the Alliance have left her with an unwanted and permanent reminder of her time with them. Or have they?

Jessica's older sister, Jill, knows her destiny is to be a doctor and specialise in bionics and genetic variant medicine. She is also hopelessly in love with Christopher, Crown Prince of Galorvia. Can their romance survive the lies Christopher told her when they were both at school, an unplanned pregnancy and Sophie, the wannabe princess who comes between them?
