“Against hatred, power, and fanaticism, systems and plans, I oppose love and creation, over and over again, in spite of the insanity of the world. We live in an era of destruction. Destruction and creation are sometimes balanced; great wars, great cultures. But now, destruction is predominant. People die for systems that are masks for personal power and gain. Against them, I close the door of a small but loving world, cells of devotion, care, work, to fight the disease and madness of the world. A small world sometimes defeated great systems born of delusions.”

“Give your daughters difficult names. Give your daughters names that command the full use of tongue. My name makes you want to tell me the truth. My name doesn't allow me to trust anyone that cannot pronounce it right.”
