Canada will be a strong country when Canadians of all provinces feel at home in all parts of the country, and when they feel that all Canada belongs to them.

I think violence is counter-productive and it is bad in democratic societies.

I don't see any easy way of disqualifying people on the basis that they decide not to work.

I walked until midnight in the storm, then I went home and took a sauna for an hour and a half. It was all clear. I listened to my heart and saw if there were any signs of my destiny in the sky, and there were none - there were just snowflakes.

My life is one long curve, full of turning points.

I feel perhaps I didn't deal with the question of violence in depth.

I was shaken to the extent that people who criticized me used to say that I was Protestant more than a Catholic because I like to impose constraints on myself, but I don't like them to be imposed from the outside.
