The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.

The longer you practice nonviolence and the meditative qualities of it that you will need, the more likely you are to do something intelligent in any situation.

To sing is to praise God and the daffodils, and to praise God is to thank Him, in every note within my small range, and every color in the tones of my voice, with every look into the eyes of my audience, to thank Him. Thank you, God, for letting me be born, for giving me eyes to see the daffodils lean in the wind, all my brothers, all my sisters, for giving me ears to hear crying, legs to come running, hands to smooth damp hair, a voice to laugh with and to sing with...to sing to you and the daffodils.

To love means you also trust.

My life is a crystal teardrop. There are snowflakes falling in the teardrop and little figures trudging in slow motion.

We need to have faith in the people who are giving this movement direction to be smart enough to stay one step ahead of what's coming up next.

Nonviolence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence.
