“In certain situations, manifesting anger is the right attitude; in others it is not the right thing to manifest because it will only add to the violence. In the first case, anger unblocks the conflict and causes another to become more conscious. In the latter, it only adds to the unconsciousness and inflames the conflict. (73)”
“The only alternative to talking is the building up of resentment and anger, which in the time must inevitably become open hostility and conflict.”
“why can't we love the right people? what is so wrong with us that we rush into situations to which we are manifestly unsuited, which will hurt us and others? why are we given emotions which we cannot control and which move in exact contradiction to what we really want? we are walking conflicts, internal battles on legs.”
“To believe in miracles in one thing...to know what miracle you want to manifest right now, and accept it, is another.”
“Genuine tragedies in the world are not conflicts between right and wrong. They are conflicts between two rights”
“Anger is useful only to a certain point. After that, it becomes rage, and rage will make you careless.”
