“Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict -- alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence.”
― Dorothy Thompson

“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”
― Michael Cunningham, The Hours

“It is my conviction that there is no way to peace - peace is the way.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, The Art of Power

“The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that its center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.”
― Black Elk
