“Respect me. Be proud, and if you love me, a little afraid, because love so often looks like fear. We are alike. We are alike.”

“We need not think alike to love alike.”

“We need not think alike to love alike. ”

“We [the Amish] look alike. We pray alike. We live alike. ...But none of these things mean we all think alike.”

“There are ways in which we’re so alike. We’re reckless. We don’t think before we act. We’ll do anything for people we love. And I never thought how scary that was for the people who loved me until I saw”

“The problem, Mitch, is that we don't believe we are as much alike as we are. Whites and blacks, Catholics and Protestants, men and women. If we saw each other as more alike, we might be very eager to join in one big human family in this world, and to care about that family the way we care about our own.But believe me, when you are dying, you see it is true. We all have the same beginning - birth - and we all have the same end - death. So how different can we be?Invest in the human family. Invest in people. Build a little community of those you love and who love you.”
