‚Trilogy‘ was more of a claustrophobic body of work. Before it was released, I hadn’t left my city for 21 years, and I had never been on a plane, not once.

Peace can be contributed to by respect for our ability in defense.

I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we’re really talking about peace.

A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.

Knowing that the time to sleep has come, the Lord sleeps, and does well in sleeping. Often, when we have been fretting and worrying, we should have glorified God far more had we literally gone to sleep.

My life is the road, man. I need to keep moving.

Peace in the world starts with peace in oneself. If everyone lives mindfully, everyone will be more healthy, feel more fulfilled in their daily lives and there will be more peace.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Even today we raise our hand against our brother… We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.
