• If we divide into two camps--even into violent and the nonviolent--and stand in one camp while attacking the other, the world will never have peace.

We must work on ourselves and also with those we condemn if we want to have a real impact.

• The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
