I love it when Muslims go to war with each other, as I do when the Christians do, because it shows there’s no such thing as the Christian world and the Islamic world. That’s all crap.

Lady GagaIt’s not that every single thing that happens on Facebook is gonna be good. This is humanity. People use tools for good and bad, but I think that we have a clear responsibility to make sure that the good is amplified and to do everything we can to mitigate the bad.
Mark ZuckerbergHere in America, we don’t let our differences tear us apart. Not here. Because we know that our greatness comes from when we appreciate each other’s strengths, when we learn from each other, when we lean on each other, because in this country, it’s never been each person for themselves. No, we’re all in this together. We always have been.

Angelina JolieWhere you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world.
BonoIt has been discovered that all the world is made of the same atoms, that the stars are of the same stuff as ourselves. It then becomes a question of where our stuff came from. Not just where did life come from, or where did the earth come from, but where did the stuff of life and of the earth come from?
Richard P. FeynmanThe most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.
Albert EinsteinEvery people have gods to suit their circumstances.
Henry David ThoreauYou know, we love stories and we love narrative; we love to get lost in an author’s world.

Jordan PetersonDogs never bite me – just humans.
Marilyn MonroeHow can one take delight in the world unless one flees to it for refuge?
Franz KafkaThere is no question that liberals do an impressive job of expressing concern for blacks. But do the intentions expressed in their words match the actual consequences of their deeds?
Thomas SowellWith patient and firm determination, I am going to press on for jobs. I’m going to press on for equality. I’m going to press on for the sake of our children. I’m going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I am going to press on.
Barack ObamaToday I can declare my hope and declare it from the bottom of my heart that we will eventually see the time when that number of nuclear weapons is down to zero and the world is a much better place.
Colin PowellWorld belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. World belongs to humanity.
Dalai LamaIndependence? That’s middle class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
George Bernard ShawWell I do think, when there are more women, that the tone of the conversation changes, and also the goals of the conversation change. But it doesn’t mean that the whole world would be a lot better if it were totally run by women. If you think that, you’ve forgotten high school.

H. L. MenckenWe’re a diverse society, and I think the TV is doing a great job in showing that we’re all human beings, that we can all get along, that we can all be together, and I think that’s a marvelous thing.
Billy GrahamPeople look at the same passage, and one person will say this is the best thing he’s ever read, and another person will say it’s absolutely idiotic. I mean, there’s no way to reconcile those two things. You just have to forget the whole business of what people are saying.
Paul AusterI detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.
Nelson MandelaThe diversity of India, of our civilization, is actually a thing of beauty, which is something we are extremely proud of.
