No one knows very much about the life of another. This ignorance becomes vivid, if you love another. Love sets the imagination on fire, and, also, eventually, chars the imagination into a harder element: imagination cannot match love, cannot plunge so deep, or range so wide.

The impossible is the least that one can demand.

The trick is to love somebody.... If you love one person, you see everybody else differently.

One cannot deny the humanity of another without diminishing one's own.

A man's balance depends on the weight he carries between his legs.

The moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.

People who have been wronged will attempt to right the wrong; they would not be people if they didn't. They can rarely afford to be scrupulous about the means they will use. They will use such means as come to hand. Neither, in the main, will they distinguish one oppressor from another, nor see through to the root principle of their oppression.
