When you see a person acting violently, ask yourself whether he knows how powerful he is. If he knew his power, would he feel the need to assert it?

Love is not the opposite of power. Love IS power. Love is the strongest power there is.

When we are in constant pain, we cannot empathize with others, nor can we help them. It is only when we allow ourselves to open up to our own nourishment that we are free to feed the rest of the world. And thus, to attend to one's own suffering is the most selfless act.

The important thing is for me to feel love towards my fellow human beings—and sometimes, that has to be at a distance.

Those who love, truly love, can be coerced into nothing.

In the world of so-called villains, what we need is not another hero. What we need is to stop the influx of people who dress themselves as menaces and proceed to harm others.
