Quotation of the month

The tendency for older people to be marginalised or discriminated against, the tendency for their standing as selves to be undermined, the possibility for alienation from themselves, these are all political matters. The cry of solidarity and the demand for citizenship should be our response to the undermining of the human rights of large parts of our societies worldwide simply because they are ageing and, in particular, because of dementia.
