Comprehensible

The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.
--Albert Einstein

Welcomed

I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.
--Jesus Christ (Matthew 25:35)

Vulnerability

Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.

Very Little

Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.

Reflex

The Western powers are not threatened by terrorists. The Western powers are threatened by their response to terrorism. It is a reflex we cannot indulge in, similar to oversteering a car in a skid. It is our natural inclination that is catastrophically wrong.
--Joseph Huben

You Have Lost

I will not give you the satisfaction of hating you. You want it, but to respond to hatred with anger would be to give in to the same ignorance that made you what you are. You would like me to be scared, for me to look at my fellow citizens with a suspicious eye, for me to sacrifice my liberty for my security. You have lost.
--Antoine Leiris (a journalist at the French radio network France Bleu, whose wife, Hélène Muyal, was murdered at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris)

Dehumanize

When we draw the line between those near and far, and those who look like us and those who don't, those whose names we can easily pronounce and those which we cannot, we participate in the same kind of dehumanizing that allows people to do such awful things to each other in the first place.
--Michel Martin

Hurt

Hurt people hurt people.
--Arno Michaelis

Curious

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.
--Albert Einstein

Walking

Paths are made by walking.
--Franz Kafka

Ingrained

The people we most love do become a physical part of us, ingrained in our synapses, in the pathways where memories are created.
--Meghan O'Rourke

In Bed

Never trust anyone who lusts to go to war. They may invoke God's name, but they're surely in bed with the Devil.
--Matthew Carnicelli

We

I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together.
--John Lennon

Rational

It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.
--Bertrand Russell

Message

A further sign of health is that we don't become undone by fear and trembling, but we take it as a message that it's time to stop struggling and look directly at what's threatening us.
--Pema Chödrön

Sheer

The basis of optimism is sheer terror.
--Oscar Wilde

Cynic

Cynicism is easy. An optimist is a braver cynic.
--George Mitchell

Luddite

For the thinking Luddite, technology becomes a serious threat only to the extent that it threatens to collapse the boundary between human and machine.
--David Auerbach

Alive

And the world. It's so...lovely. I'm very grateful to be alive, even though I know a lot of dead people.
--Stephen Colbert
