I witnessed a lot of violence, and I found myself asking the question: Do you ever use violence to try to bring about political change?

One great hope lies in the fact that there is a new consciousness in our World, particularly among young people.

People keep me going. I believe people are wonderful.

If we want to reap the harvest of peace and justice in the future, we will have to sow seeds of nonviolence, here and now, in the present.

It's okay to be scared, but fear is different. Fear is when we let being scared prevent us from doing what love requires of us.

We mustn't start off with the idea that there's only militarism, invasions, and occupations. We really have to look: What are the alternatives here?

We can rejoice and celebrate today because we are living in a miraculous time. Everything is changing and everything is possible.
