“The real differences around the world today are not between Jews and Arabs; Protestants and Catholics; Muslims, Croats, and Serbs.

Between those who open their arms and those who are determined to clench their fists.”

“The gap between those who worship different gods is not so wide as the gap between those who worship and those who don't.”

“All I have learned in life really just boils down to this: there is only one difference between the so-called wise and the so-called foolish...and between those who are truly happy and those who are not.

This search is a sign of love I maintain.”

“The difference between those who adapted and those who didn't, Gorton said, was a willingness to totally commit.”
