The only power that has any real meaning is the power to better the world.

The best revenge, like the best sex, is performed slowly, and with the eyes open.

It doesnt always help us to love the world,but it does prevent us from hating the world.

Friendship is also a kind of medicine, and the markets for it, too, are sometimes black.

I think the future is like anything else that's important. It has to be earned. If we don't earn it, we don't have a future at all. And if we don't earn it, we don't deserve it, we have to live in the present, more or less forever. Or worse, we have to live in the past. I think that's probably what love is - a way of earning the future.

So when will be the time to get on the train? I think.....a little bit almost quite very soon and not long.

It's forgiveness that makes us what we are. Without forgiveness, our species would've annihilated itself in endless retributions. Without forgiveness, there would be no history. Without that hope, there would be no art, for every work of art is in some way an act of forgiveness. Without that dream, there would be no love, for every act of love is in some way a promise to forgive. We live on because we can love, and we love because we can forgive.
