"If we don't understand phenomena, we are..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“We can only transform humanity and create a happier more compassionate world through education.”

“Fear, hatred, and suspicion narrow your mind - compassion opens it.”

“One problem with our current society is that we have an attitude towards education as if it is there to simply make you more clever, make you more ingenious... Even though our society does not emphasize this, the most important use of knowledge and education is to help us understand the importance of engaging in more wholesome actions and bringing about discipline within our minds. The proper utilization of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.”

“The sheer act of listening speaks volumes that even a great speech can't communicate.”

“If Blake said that, said Father Brian, he never lived in Dublin.”

“Whatever we have words for, that we have already got beyond.”

“Where there is no knowledge ignorance calls itself science.”

“He who cannot draw on three thousand years is living from hand to mouth.”

“You ask whether I have ever been in love: fool as I am, I am not such a fool as that. But if one is only to talk from first-hand experience, conversation would be a very poor business. But though I have no personal experience of the things they call love, I have what is better - the experience of Sappho, of Euripides, of Catallus, of Shakespeare, of Spenser, of Austen, of Bronte, of anyone else I have read.”
