When we come to the table, we shouldn't negotiate right away. We should spend time walking together, eating together, making acquaintance, telling each other about our own suffering, without blame or condemnation. It takes maybe one, two, three weeks to do that. And if communication and understanding are possible, negotiation will be easier. So if I am to organize a peace negotiation, I will organize it in that way.

To reconcile conflicting parties, we must have the ability to understand the suffering of both sides.

Be part of the miraculous moment.

I would not look upon anger as something foreign to me that I have to fight... I have to deal with my anger with care, with love, with tenderness, with nonviolence.

The miracle is to walk on the earth.

The moment you understand the importance of loving yourself, you will stop hurting others.

I have arrived. I am home. My destination is in each step.
