“A man is no stronger than his weakest artery. They offer a point of least resistance, and upon the degree of resistance does their own life and safety depend.”

“The resistance and the degree of the resistance to the natural phenomenon of life causes tremendous suffering.”

“Resistance is experienced as fear; the degree of fear equates to the strength of Resistance.”

“[A] resistance that dispenses with consolations is always stronger than one which relies on them.”

“Again: there is nothing inherently superior about resistance. All our claims for the righteousness of resistance rest on the rightness of the claim that the resisters are acting in the name of justice. And the justice of the cause does not depend on, and is not enhanced by, the virtue of those who make the assertion. It depends first and last on the truth of a description of a state of affairs that is, truly, unjust and unnecessary. ”

“Love is the one thing stronger than desire and the only proper reason to resist temptation.”
