Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
It takes a certain ingenuous faith- but I have it -to believe that people who read and reflect more likely than not come to judge things with liberality and truth.

The truth is more important than the facts.
The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.
A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
