Quote by Arun Gandhi

“In recent decades we have emphasized the value of teaching people 'tolerance.' Tolerance is not only inadequate, it is a negative concept which only alienates society further. Learning to tolerate absolves people of the responsibility of learning to understand different people, accept and appreciate their differences, and progress towards respecting them for who and what they are. It is only when we build acceptance between people that we will rid ourselves of the scourge of prejudice and liberate ourselves from violence.”

“بمرور الزمن، بدأت أشعر بأن كل ما يجري في الطبيعة مؤلم وقاسٍ، وكل ذلك القتل باسم الإله وباسم الدين لم يكن مقبولاً على الإطلاق، كل تلك المئات من الضحايا التي تسقط كل يوم على قارعة الطريق مضرجة بالدماء وهي تسمع صيحات التكبير كآخر كلمة تسبق الموت، كل ذلك جعلني أشك في وجود العدالة أو الإنسانية، ولم أعد قادراً على استيعاب فكرة وجود قوة بإمكانها وقف كل ذلك من دون أن تفعل شيئاً، إلا إذا كانت توافق على ما يجري، أو أنها ببساطة غير موجودة.”

“The thing is, there is no certainty in this life - in one second your entire world could shift. I'm not saying it will, but I am living proof that It can. We never prepare for tragedy and that's a good thing but my god what's it's taught me is how little we appreciate what we have or some cases once had.”

“He had a harder time helping her out though. He was asleep while she was doing stars. Without wings, he couldn't reach anyways. In the end though what he could give her was better than magic wands and magic frogs and magic lamps. Better and more magical. What he gave her was moral support and unconditional love. He promised to be there for her always, even times when the sky proved too vast and the night was dark because she couldn't kindle all the stars. He would light her way instead, he promised. He would be her Polaris, her celestial navigator, her astral guide. And whenever she cam back to Earth, Grumwald promised, he would be there, waiting.”
