To love. To be loved.
To never forget your own insignificance.
To never get used to the unspeakable violence
and the vulgar disparity of life around you.
To seek joy in the saddest places.
To pursue beauty to its lair.
To never simplify what is complicated
or complicate what is simple.
To respect strength, never power.
Above all, to watch. To try to understand.
To never look away. And never, never, to forget.
- Arundhati Roy

when it appears to do good,

- Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi

Non-violence is a powerful and just weapon which cuts without wounding

When truly necessary, violence met with violence -
but never hate responded to with hate.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

in the name of life being "unfair."
And Life is still not "fair."

but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

most effective criticism until you provoke him.

Once you have seen the truth
you must make the decision to let go
of the pain, anger, and resentment you have been holding on to.
This requires you to take action.
If you are attached to your pain, resentment,
and self-righteousness, and addicted to your emotional reactions,
this will be a difficult step for you.
Taking action requires letting go of the very thing
you have been holding on to for so many years.
There is comfort in what we find familiar,
even if we are experiencing pain and suffering.
The pain and suffering itself becomes the familiarity we seek.
It takes absolute faith in yourself
plus courage, will, and discipline to let go.
But once you let go, it will be as if
the weight of the world has been taken off your shoulders.
In this process it is important to forgive
not just the others in our lives, but also ourselves.
For most people, giving ourselves
the gift of forgiveness is very challenging.
- Sheri Rosenthal

Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth,
and if a man does not know what a thing is,

if he knows what it is not.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.
Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
- Marcus Aurelius

If you are out to describe the truth,
leave elegance to the tailor.
- Albert Einstein

Truth is certainly a branch of morality
and a very important one to society.
- Thomas Jefferson

Doubt is the vestibule which we all must pass through
before we can enter the temple of truth.
- Osho
