“You seem to think peace is a natural state, Siward, and conflict its interruption, but the truth is the exact opposite. Peace is what the sea looks like in a dead calm - a rare and beautiful moment - something impossible - a glimpse of perfection before the wind comes back again.

You can no more force peace into existence than you can wander across the surface of the sea stamping the waves flat.”
― David Greig, Dunsinane

“I stopped stopping and I stopped starting, and I allowed myself to be crushed by ignorance.”
― Leonard Cohen, Book of Mercy

“Education should help us to discover lasting values so that we do not merely cling to formulas or repeat slogans; it should help us to break down our national and social barriers, instead of emphasizing them, for they breed antagonism between man and man. Unfortunately, the present system of education is making us subservient, mechanical, and deeply thoughtless; though it awakens us intellectually, inwardly it leaves us incomplete, stultified, and uncreative.”
― Krishnamurti
