I don't feel there is any spiritual or metaphysical justification for turning our backs on human suffering.

The Department of Peace would take a more human approach to healing our society, looking not merely for ways we can destroy an enemy, but for more powerful ways to create new friends. While the State Department engages in international diplomacy, there is no domestic parallel. There is no department seeking to harness the power of a nonviolent heart.

By bringing the past into the present, we create a future just like the past. By letting the past go, we make room for miracles.

Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace.

Love will not just heal your life or mine. Love will heal the world.

You are loved, and your purpose is to love.

I have hope, because I believe in miracles.
