“If words allow themselves to be handled, it is with the help of infinite carefulness. One has to welcome them, listen to the, before asking any service of them. Words are living things closely involved with human life.”

“Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs. ”

“Children need close friends to help them grow up, to discover things about themselves and about life. They also need close friends to keep them sane”

“I think that the best thing we can do for our children is to allow them to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong, allow them to experience life on their own terms, allow them to take the subway... let them be better people, let them believe more in themselves.”

“It is true that words have power, and one of the things they are able to do is get out of someone’s mouth before the speaker has the chance to stop them.”

“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.”
