After the revolution, it might very well remain necessary to place people where they could not do harm to others. But the one under restraint should be cut off from the rest of society as little as possible.

To resort to power one need not be violent, and to speak to conscience one need not be meek.

We cannot live without our lives

The injunction that we should love our neighbors as ourselves means to us equally that we should love ourselves as we love our neighbors.

What is the revolution that we need? We need to dissolve the lie that some people have a right to think of other people as their property. And we need at last to form a circle that includes us all, in which all of us are seen as equal... We do not belong to the other, but our lives are linked; we belong in a circle of others.

It is one thing to be able to state the price the antagonist paid, another to be able to count you own real gains.

Vengeance is not the point; change is. But the trouble is that in most people's minds the thought of victory and the thought of punishing the enemy coincide.
