Quote

Our enemy is hatred - the hatred inherent in fundamentalism.

It is human nature to instinctively rebel at obscurity or ordinariness.

We have this idea of perfection that is so unrealistic. We are our own worst enemy. No one is noticing that little scar.

We must, all of us, learn actually not to have enemies, but only confused adversaries who are ourselves in disguise.

Let us carefully observe those good qualities wherein our enemies excel us; and endeavor to excel them, by avoiding what is faulty, and imitating what is excellent in them.

Tradition is the illusion of permanance.

In a media culture, we not only judge strangers by how they look but by the images of how they look. So we want attractive pictures of our heroes and repulsive images of our enemies.

We seem, as a culture, to start to adhere to these antiheroes and have grown tired of the traditional, straight-up-and-down good guy.

No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves.
