“There is no morality in war', they said, 'but cannibals never killed more in one day that they could eat. In your wars, thousands are killed in a few minutes. Perhaps it might be worth suggesting to you leaders that both parties in your war agree to five minutes of combat.

After that is over, another five minutes of battle might or might not be agreed upon. It is difficult to make sense out of senselessness.”

“Ako povrediš nekog drugog,povredio si sebe.Ako pomogneš drugome,pomažeš sebi.Krv i kost nalaze se u svim ljudima.Razlikujemo se po srcu i nameri.”

“The spider's lesson is never to be greedy. It shows that objects of necessity can be objects of beauty and art as well. The spider teaches us that we can be too easily enraptured with ourselves.”

“Our words, our actions must constantly set the stage for the life we wish to lead.”

“The less you take from the land, the less you owe in return.”

“You either have faith or fear, not both. Things, they think, generate fear. The more things you have, the more you have to fear. Eventually you are living your life for things.”
