“When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.”

“People say that love and death are two common and universal human journeys. There is a difference though, love is more powerful and lasts longer. A body is taken only once but love can be given a thousand times. Ask how someone died the answer is finite, ask how they loved, the answer is infinite.”
