For me, every hour is grace.

When our center is strong, everything else is secondary.

Fanaticism in many lands has surfaced as the greatest threat to the world. Indifference to its consequences would be a serious mistake.

Naturally, the human being wants to forget pain.

The only way for us to help ourselves is to help others and to listen to each other's stories.

No one is as capable of gratitude as one who has emerged from the kingdom of night. We know that every moment is a moment of grace, every hour an offering; not to share them would mean to betray them. Our lives no longer belong to us alone; they belong to all those who need us desperately.

In the face of suffering, one has no right to turn away, not to see.
