Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

I am a steadfast follower of the doctrine of non-violence which was first preached by Lord Buddha, whose divine wisdom is absolute.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

I call myself a feminist. Isn't that what you call someone who fights for women's rights?

Love and compassion ... are the ultimate source of human happiness, and the need for them lies at the very core of our being.

I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential.

Computers make me totally blank out.
