A threat need not provoke a response if it is not taken up.

No one can posses an afternoon of rain beating against the window, or the serenity of a sleeping child, or the magical moment when the waves break on the rocks. No one can posses the beautiful things of this Earth, but we can know them and love them. It is through such moments that God reveals himself to mankind.

You can't avoid pain, but you can choose to overcome it.

We hereby declare the end to the wall dividing the sacred from the profane: from now on, all is sacred.

It is bound to come a moment when what seems close is still very far away.

Each human being has the right to seek out joy, joy being understood as something which makes one content - not necessarily that which makes others content.

Every human being should know two languages: the language of society and the language of signs. One serves to communicate with other people, the other serves to understand God's messages.
