“Every couple has ups and downs, every couple argues, and that’s the thing—you’re a couple, and couples can’t function without trust.”

“Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment.”

“Nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation.”
