The irony is that musical artists have enormous public voices, but behind the scenes we're voiceless, actually.
Sinead O'Connor
Image
It's very often the artist who gives a voice to the voiceless by speaking up when no one else will.
Barbra Streisand
Image
Behind my work was ambition, behind my love was personality, behind my purity was fear, behind my guidance the thirst for power. Now they are vanishing and I drift. I come, Mother, I come, in Thy warm bosom, floating wheresoever Thou takest me, in the voiceless, in the strange, in the wonderland, I come - a spectator, no more an actor.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The mere fact of an American being present could help save the lives of innocent people. That's why I believe in the importance of bearing witness, to become a voice for the voiceless.
Bianca Jagger

Chuck D
Image
My books may highlight corruption, brutality and venality, but they also show that if these things come to light, there is rectification. The voiceless do have a voice democratic mechanisms and accountability do exist.
Vikas Swarup

Martin Luther King was a voice to the voiceless, and he did that tirelessly, and his faith was the engine to that. But he was just a human being, at the end of the day.
David Oyelowo

I am not anxious to be the loudest voice or the most popular. But I would like to think that at a crucial moment, I was an effective voice of the voiceless, an effective hope of the hopeless.
Whitney M. Young
Image
Today, I count myself blessed to have become a photographer. To be able to articulate the experiences of the voiceless, to bring their identity to the forefront, gives meaning and purpose to my own life.
G.M.B. Akash
Image
Anybody can make a difference and be a voice for the voiceless.
Zach Hunter
Image
But words are vain reject them all— They utter but a feeble part: Hear thou the depths from which they call, The voiceless longing of my heart.
George MacDonald
Image
Mostly out of step, young people, especially poor minorities and low-income whites, are increasingly inscribed within a machinery of dead knowledge, social relations and values in which there is an attempt to render them voiceless and invisible.
Henry Giroux
Image
Johnny Cash was the champion of the voiceless, the underdogs and the downtrodden. He was also something of a holy terror, like Abraham Lincoln with a wild side. He represented the best of America.
Kris Kristofferson
Image
There have been decades of failed policies: zero tolerance, harassment and people being locked up for small crimes -\-\ policies that drive a divide between communities and law enforcement. So many people feel like they are voiceless, that they've been dehumanized. What we saw in the riots is a result of that.
Marilyn Mosby
Image
But finding a voice-let's be clear-is a political act. It defines a moment of presence, of being awake and it involves not only self-understanding, but the ability to transmit that selfunderstanding to others...To experience yourself as voiceless is a definition of depression, subjugation, and being counted out. .
Mary Rose O'Reilley
Image
I'm somewhat of a raptivist but I wasn't attempting to make a socio-political statement as much as I was attempting to voice for the voiceless whatever ideas that came to mind if I was in that situation.
Myka 9

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Justice, voiceless, unseen, seeth thee when thou sleepest and when thou goest forth and when thou liest down. Continually doth she attend thee, now aslant thy course, now at a later time. These lines are from a section of doubtful or spurious fragments.
Aeschylus
Image
It's about using social media for social change: creating a community of advocates who can use their voices on behalf of the voiceless, or leverage their talents, skills, knowledge, and resources to put more children into classrooms, or pressure their elected representatives to get global education top of the agenda.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Image
It's a wonder that any mother ever called a daughter Dinah again. But some did. Maybe you guessed that there was more to me than the voiceless cipher in the text. Maybe you heard it in the music of my name: the first vowel high and clear, as when a mother calls to her child at dusk the second sound soft, for whispering secrets on pillows. Dee-nah.
Anita Diament
Image
Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud-and the only answer is the echo of our wailing cry. From the voiceless lips of the unreplying dead there comes no word. But in the night of Death Hope sees a star and listening Love can hear the rustling of a wing.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Image
There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.
