“Many people today agree that we need to reduce violence in our society. If we are truly serious about this, we must deal with the roots of violence, particularly those that exist within each of us. We need to embrace ‘inner disarmament,’ reducing our own emotions of suspicion, hatred and hostility toward our brothers and sisters.”

Dalai Lama XIV

“The most tragic cause of social disharmony is when the speed with which people find mistakes of others outweighs their simple belief that they too are infallible!”

Raphael Zernoff

“The worst battle you’ll have to fight is between what you know and how you feel.”

Sonali Sinha

“You can teach people everything except how to get along.”

Marty Rubin

“Real conflicts between two people, those which do not serve to cover up or to project, but which are experienced on the deep level of inner reality to which they belong, are not destructive. They lead to clarification, they produce a catharsis from which both persons emerge with more knowledge and more strength.”

Erich Fromm

Nitya Prakash

“They began to fight, ’cause they didn’t know each other’s stories.“

Joseph Conrad

“In some ways, we will always be different. In other ways, we will always be the same. There is always room to disagree and blame, just as there is always room to take a new perspective and empathize. Understanding is a choice“

Vironika Tugaleva

“Perhaps one day, all these conflicts will end, and it won’t be because of great statesmen or churches or organizations like this one. It’ll be because people have changed.“

Kazuo Ishiguro

“What would you have? Your gentleness shall force More than your force move us to gentleness.“
