“If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem.”

“You either have to be part of the solution, or you're going to be part of the problem.”

“What we're saying today is that you're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem.”

“And why does it make you sad to see how everything hangs by such thin and whimsical threads? Because you’re a dreamer, an incredible dreamer, with a tiny spark hidden somewhere inside you which cannot die, which even you cannot kill or quench and which tortures you horribly because all the odds are against its continual burning. In the midst of the foulest decay and putrid savagery, this spark speaks to you of beauty, of human warmth and kindness, of goodness, of greatness, of heroism, of martyrdom, and it speaks to you of love.”

“I know that sometimes people fake on each other out of genuine motives to hold onto the object of their tenderest feelings. They see themselves as so inadequate that they feel forced to wear a mask in order to continuously impress the other. I do not want to "hold" you, I want you to "stay" out of your own need for me.”

“I may even swagger a little, and, as I read in a book somewhere, 'push myself forward like a train.”

“Respect commands itself and it can neither be given nor withheld when it is due.”
