"This civilization is such that one has..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“It is a mark of wisdom not to kick away the very step from which we have risen higher. The removal of one step from a staircase brings down the whole of it.”

“If you love peace, then hate injustice, hate tyranny, hate greed � but hate these things in yourself, not in another.”

“Nonviolence is an unchangeable creed. It has to be pursued even in face of violence raging around you.”

“In the highest civilization, the book is still the highest delight. He who has once known its satisfactions is provided with a resource against calamity.”

“The demands of unbounded individualism need to be weighed in the light of inherent social constraints which can only change their form but cannot be eliminated without eliminating civilization.”

“The progress and civilisation of the human race simply mean controlling this nature.”

“And there’s also ‘To him that hath shall be given.’ After all, you must have a capacity to receive, or even omnipotence can’t give. Perhaps your own passion temporarily destroys the capacity.”

“Found myself screaming in a hotel room. I didn't want to self-destruct.”

“There's another reason why you should love your enemies, and that is because hate distorts the personality of the hater. We usually think of what hate does for the individual hated or the individuals hated or the groups hated. But it is even more tragic, it is even more ruinous and injurious to the individual who hates. [...] For the person who hates, the true becomes false and the false becomes true. That's what hate does.”
