“AIDS was allowed to happen. It is a plague that need not have happened. It is a plague that could have been contained from the very beginning.”

“Aikhenvald saw Véra as a fearless guide to Vladimir on “the poetic path.” She was on every count his champion. The wife of another émigré writer phrased it differently: “Everyone in the Russian community knew who and what you meant when you said ‘Verochka.’ It meant a boxer who went into the fight and hit and hit.”

“Aiki is not a technique to fight with or defeat an enemy. It is the way to reconcile the world and make human beings one family.”
“Aiki is the way of the Kami and was born of the will of the Kami. Rise early in the morning to greet the sun. Inhale the breath of heaven and let the cosmos inside. Next breath up the rich vibrance of the earth. Blend these breaths with your own breath and become the breath of life itself. Your mind and body will be gladdened, heartache and disappointment will dissipate and you will be filled with gratitude. The movements of Aikido which unite human being with great nature are all given by Sarutahiko-no-O-Kami. Aikido is Misogi..a purification of ourselves...the way of the universe.”
“Aikido can be summed up like this: True victory is self-victory; let that day arrive quickly! (True victory) means unflinching courage; (self-victory) symbolizes unflagging effort; and (let that day arrive quickly) represents the glorious moment of triumph in the here and now.”
“Aikido chagnes constantly. What do not change are the principles.”
“Aikido is based on the projection of love.”

“Aikido is love. It is the path that brings our heart into oneness with the spirit of the universe to complete our mission in life by instilling in us a love and reverence for all of nature.”
“Aikido is not an art to fight with enemies and defeat them. It is a way to lead all human beings to live in harmony with each other as though everyone were one family. The secret of aikido is to make yourself become one with the universe and to go along with its natural movements. One who has attained this secret holds the universe in him/herself and can say, 'I am the universe.'”
“Aikido is not ultimately Japanese: It is an art of universal truth and international significance.”

“Aikido is the principle of non-resistance. Because it is non-resistant, it is victorious from the beginning. Those with evil intentions or contentious thoughts are instantly vanquished. Aikido is invincible because it contends with nothing.”

“Aikido practice is a method of incorporating the fundamentals of Great Harmony, Great Love, and Gratitude into one's own heart. To integrate these fundamentals into Aikido technique, I have to eliminate the sense of winning and losing. The feeling of completion must be completely transmuted into the heart of gratitude and harmony. If I am able to do that, I will transcend issues of relative strength or skill.”

“Aikuisten lapsuus roikkuu repaleisena ja puhkottuna heidän sisimmässään kuin käytetty ja koinsyömä matto jota kukaan ei ajattele eikä tarvitse. Heistä ei näe että heillä on ollut lapsuus, eikä heiltä uskalla kysyä miten he käyttäytyivät päästäkseen sen läpi ilman että se jätti heidän kasvoihinsa syviä arpia ja jälkiä.”

“Ailleurs, bien loin d'ici ! trop tard ! jamais peut-être !
Car j'ignore où tu fuis, tu ne sais où je vais,
Ô toi que j'eusse aimée, ô toi qui le savais !”
“Ailton Krenak1 sempre destaca nas suas palestras a forma como os índios veem a natureza: como parte dela. A religião deles nos obriga a proteger o meio ambiente. Eles tiveram aqui por séculos antes do homem branco, que em 500 anos, já destruiu basicamente todo o meio ambiente, colocando a Amazônio em ponto de não retorno.
Muitos veem a religião indígena como inferior, por adorarem pedras e o sol. Pode até ser, mas eu suspeito fortemente que a religião cristão é mais evoluída, mas passou do ponto. Passou do ponto a ponto de nos separar da natureza, do mundo. Cristianismo nos separa em todos os pontos: desde da natureza até entre pessoas. Claro, você nunca vai ouvir uma autorreflexão deles, mas somente olhe os padrões, olhe como sempre as pautas que eles se preocupam, ou quando eles se ofendem. Toda ofensa cristão gira em torno de homossexualidade, e eu nunca vi a bancada evangélica se envolvendo com assuntos ambientais.”
