I witnessed a lot of violence, and I found myself asking the question: Do you ever use violence to try to bring about political change?

If we want to reap the harvest of peace and justice in the future, we will have to sow seeds of nonviolence, here and now, in the present.

Our common humanity is more important than all the things that divide us.

We have really got to create a culture in our world today where we recognize that every human life is sacred and precious and we have no right to take another human life.

It's okay to be scared, but fear is different. Fear is when we let being scared prevent us from doing what love requires of us.

We need radical thinking, creative ideas, and imagination.

Everyday there are people in our world that do absolutely amazing things. People of all ages are very capable of doing tremendous, courageous things in spite of their fear.

We need now to build a culture of genuine nonviolence and real democracy.

We can rejoice and celebrate today because we are living in a miraculous time. Everything is changing and everything is possible.

I believe that hope for the future depends on each of us taking nonviolence into our hearts and minds and developing new and imaginative structures which are nonviolent and life-giving for all.

We have to start from the fact that there are always alternatives to violence.
