"Our proper attitude to refugees can only be developed when we imagine for ourselves what it would be like to run from state terror, torture, rape, the destruction of our homes and families to a place that welcomed us and tried to heal our wounds. It's a place we might all need one day. Let us be people who can provide it."
– Emma Thompson
