“A person who has not made peace with his losses is likely to accept gambles that would be unacceptable to him otherwise.”

“The two families, sundered in the ruin of a friendship, were united again first in new friendship and then in mariage. My grandfather made a peace here that has joined many who would otherwise have been divided. I am the child of his forgiveness.”

“We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.”

“A person incapable of imaging another world than given to him by his senses would be subhuman, and a person who identifies his imaginary world with the world of sensory fact has become insane.”

“The moral dilemma is to make peace with the unacceptable”

“Throughout history, the word "war" has meant one thing to human beings: loss of life. The word "peace" has always meant security and love within a person's soul.”
