“Humanity cannot maintain value in their pitiful existence without blind obedience.”

“A government cannot be truly just without affirming the intrinsic value of human life.”

“Human existence is so fragile a thing and exposed to such dangers that I cannot love without trembling.”

“ Monsters remain human beings. In fact, to reduce them to a subhuman level is to exonerate them of their acts of terrorism and mass murder — just as animals are not deemed morally responsible for killing. Insisting on the humanity of terrorists is, in fact, critical to maintaining their profound responsibility for the evil they commit.And, if they are human, then they must necessarily not be treated in an inhuman fashion. You cannot lower the moral baseline of a terrorist to the subhuman without betraying a fundamental value.”

“After all, trust is greater than love, and to truly trust another human-being is rare. Love can exist without trust, but trust cannot exist without love.”

“Saying spirituality cannot exist without religion is like saying hamburgers cannot exist without McDonald's.”
