"Powerful words that penetrate the psyche are not forgotten while silence is."
"Every woman's heart cannot be opened with words, sometimes you need to use your hands."
"Everybody talks, but there is no conversation."
"We cannot control the way people interpret our ideas or thoughts, but we can control the words and tones we choose to convey them. Peace is built on understanding, and wars are built on misunderstandings. Never underestimate the power of a single word, and never recklessly throw around words.

This is nonconstructive. It does not get our message across. It condemns us to permanent minority status."
"To rush into explanations is always a sign of weakness."

"The one thing ... that is truly ugly is the climate of hate and intimidation, created by a noisy few, which makes the decent majority reluctant to air in public their views on anything controversial. ... Where all pretend to be thinking alike, it's likely that no one is thinking at all."
