Humanity

"If forgiveness, kindness and humanity could have changed something; today we would have been living a peaceful world."

"No one should have to go through life without forgiveness. It's essential"

"Forgiveness, compassion, and kindness are the fundamental ingredients of our beloved humanity."

"Accept each other's fault with brotherly love."

"We ought to love one another"

"Never judge the life of another man."

"May we greet each other with a smile, hug and speak kind words."

"Be compassionate with all people."

"The revelation that he was merely human, and frightfully so, was beyond my power to forgive."

"at first sight everyone seems like human."

"In some rare cases, a friendship between two people benefits both of them, and what’s more, in some rarer cases, it benefits both of them equally."

"This is what the Others have done to us. You can’t band together to fight without trust. And without trust, there was no hope. How do you rid the Earth of humans? Rid the humans of their humanity."

"Trust isn’t something you can just one day decide to have. Trust cannot be fabricated out of thin air, no matter how one’s will is set to it. Trust has to be earned. And there’s the tragedy of it, the dependence on the other, who is often not up for the challenge, poisoned as he is by the modern individualistic and time-is-money mindset. And thus trust is losing ground more and more until one day it will turn into something rare and obscure and this world has become a severly violent and lonely place, ruled by mistrust and disconnection."

"Even though everybody hates you, you'll always have a friend who protects you and wishes to uplift you from pain, misery and suffering and that will always turn and remain the hardest blow to those who hate you."

"On either side of a potentially violent conflict, an opportunity exists to exercise compassion and diminish fear based on recognition of each other's humanity. Without such recognition, fear fueled by uninformed assumptions, cultural prejudice, desperation to meet basic human needs, or the panicked uncertainty of the moment explodes into violence."

"Sometimes, there is a lot of darkness in this world. As I see it, you have two choices. You can be a part of that darkness or you can be the light. Be the light."

"We do not see the world through a window, but through a mirror. Everything we discern is comparatively held to the vision with which we see ourselves."

"Everything is emotional because hope is… When I talk to people I no longer see rational beings engaged in rational discourse, I see objects, emoting. It has made me such a deep materialist that I see everything as objects, people, dogs, trees, rocks- objects that burn with the animation of hope, each engaged in their own private miracle of being. And the things that people make, the buildings and machines, the paintings and the poems, are artificial miracles, which glow from the light borrowed from their makers."

"The most beautiful of human things are born in the shadows and thrive there and are endangered by light"
