“When I closed THE GRAPES OF WRATH, I was a different man. It enriched my powers of thinking and discipline, and my relationships. I left prison more informed than when I went in. And the more informed you are, the less arrogant and aggressive you are.”
“We understand and promote the notion that while children need to be guided they also have an entrenched right to be whatever they want to be and that they can achieve this only if they are given the space to dream and live out their dreams.”
“If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.”

“The roses, the lovely notes, the dining and dancing are all welcome and splendid. But when the Godiva is gone, the gift of real love is having someone who'll go the distance with you. Someone who, when the wedding day limo breaks down, is willing to share a seat on the bus.”
“'Tis brief, my lord...as woman's love.”
“It is not the perfect, but the imperfect, who have need of love.”
More on Hatred
“If the mind is dominated by hatred, the best part of the brain, which is used to judge right and wrong, does not function properly.”
“If one judges love according to the greatest part of the effects it produces, it would appear to resemble rather hatred than kindness.”
“All men naturally hate one another. I hold it a fact, that if men knew exactly what one says of the other, there would not be four friends in the world.”
