“We are dangerous when we are not conscious of our responsibility for how we behave, think, and feel.”
― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life

“peace cannot be built on the foundations of fear.”
― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life

“Analyses of others are actually expressions of our own needs and values”
― Marshall B. Rosenberg

“Peace requires something far more difficult than revenge or merely turning the other cheek; it requires empathizing with the fears and unmet needs that provide the impetus for people to attack each other. Being aware of these feelings and needs, people lose their desire to attack back because they can see the human ignorance leading to these attacks; instead, their goal becomes providing the empathic connection and education that will enable them to transcend their violence and engage in cooperative relationships.”
