“Life is war.”

“The saint, we are told, once lived a life of sin -nothing spectacular, of course, just the usual things.”

“It's you and the students against ignorance.”

“You can't sell people a new idea backed only by your authority. You have to have respect for the lives the people have led to this point and begin with them there; their experiences have led them to their assumptions and conceptions. As you identify and legitimate those experiences, you can help people identify their own primary needs in society. Then they can begin to imagine other people as having parallel needs.”

“Life is the result of war, and society is the instrument of war... To refuse war means to refuse an epic life”

“There is no life in war; there is life only in peace.”

“Even without wars, life is dangerous.”
