Terrorism is contempt for human dignity.

Knowledge of other people's beliefs and ways of thinking must be used to build bridges, not to create conflicts.

Each individual is unique. We all have equal worth. Young and old, those who can cope and those who need help.

A person's worth is quite independent of their usefulness to society.

If each of us is to feel that he or she is valued, this calls for more than public funding.

We must never relinquish the vision of a humane society and a humane world.

Extremists and populist movements are exploiting people's fear of those who are not like us. We can see the consequences in the form of terrorism and racially motivated violence.
