― Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance

“So little is actually worthy of belief or disbelief. Better to strive to coexist than seek to disapprove . . .”
― David Mitchell, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet

“Love transcends mere coexistence. It fosters an original partnership where we can evolve as independent individuals creating mutual growth and inspiring goals. When we value each other as sovereign and exclusive beings, we forge a unique and stimulating bond. (“Love and Happiness and Insight”)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Diversity is an aspect of human existence that cannot be eradicated by terrorism or war or self-consuming hatred. It can only be conquered by recognizing and claiming the wealth of values it represents for all.”
― Aberjhani, Splendid Literarium: A Treasury of Stories, Aphorisms, Poems, and Essays

“Beneath the armor of skin/and/bone/and/mind
most of our colors are amazingly the same.”
― Aberjhani, Elemental: The Power of Illuminated Love

“In Astrology, the moon, among its other meanings, has that of "the common people," who submit (they know not why) to any independent will that can express itself with sufficient energy. The people who guillotined the mild Louis XVI died gladly for Napoleon. The impossibility of an actual democracy is due to this fact of mob-psychology. As soon as you group men, they lose their personalities. A parliament of the wisest and strongest men in the nation is liable to behave like a set of schoolboys, tearing up their desks and throwing their inkpots at each other. The only possibility of co-operation lies in discipline and autocracy, which men have sometimes established in the name of equal rights.”
― Aleister Crowley, Moonchild

“In the days when hyenas of hate suckle the babes of men, and jackals of hypocrisy pimp their mothers’ broken hearts, may children not look to demons of ignorance for hope.”
― Aberjhani, The River of Winged Dreams

“When you learn a language, you don't just learn to speak and write a new language. You also learn to be open-minded, liberal, tolerant, kind and considerate towards all mankind.”

“God has given us many faiths but only one world in which to co-exist. May your work help all of us to cherish our commonalities and feel enlarged by our differences.”
― Jonathan Sacks

“There is nothing sane, merciful, heroic, devout, redemptive, wise, holy, loving, peaceful, joyous, righteous, gracious, remotely spiritual, or worthy of praise where mass murder is concerned. We have been in this world long enough to know that by now and to understand that nonviolent conflict resolution informed by mutual compassion is the far better option.”
― Aberjhani, Splendid Literarium: A Treasury of Stories, Aphorisms, Poems, and Essays

“This is God's universe and he is the master gardener of all. If we were to eliminate all colors in his garden,then what would be a rainbow with only one color? Or a garden with only one kind of flower? Why would the Creator create a vast assortment of plants, ethnicities, and animals, if only one beast or seed is to dominate all of existence?”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Millions cheer the warrior
spilling blood across the ring
while the one who stands for peace
is ridiculed and shamed.
Must hearts forever suffer
from ignorance and greed?
Can bombs heal our souls
or set our spirits free?”
― Aberjhani, Songs from the Black Skylark zPed Music Player

“It's the failure to see this planet as a single entity that causes so much pain so many times. You cannot attack one part of the world without it affecting the whole earth, the whole body. Attacking other cultures, other nations, is a self-destructive act. It always comes back on you in some way.”
― Gorillaz, Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre

“Any person who, with all the sincerity of heart, is in search for God, on land or in the sea, is worthy of respect.”
― Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi, The Religion of God

“Religion and ethics were not always - or even frequently - mutually compatible. The demands of religious absolutism or fundamentalism or rampaging relativism often deflected the worst aspects of contemporary culture or prejudices rather than a system which both man and God could live under with a sense of real justice.”
― Dan Simmons, The Fall of Hyperion

“No human being should be maltreated under any circumstances. We are all wonderful creation of God. May we affectionately love one another.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita, Pearls of Wisdom: Great mind

“Each new year is another chance to get love right.”
― Aberjhani, Splendid Literarium: A Treasury of Stories, Aphorisms, Poems, and Essays

“The truth is sealed.
Life goes on.
Till one day, history changed...
Like thief in the night,
aliens invade human.
Chaos happens prior to the new order of coexistence.
The truth is sealed.
Life goes on.
Till one day, history changed.”
― Toba Beta, My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut

“Respect for the environment, and respect for what was naturally occurring in nature: that was the bedrock of all original peoples. Harmony, coexistence, not conquest and conquer.”
― L.A. Banks, Bad Blood

“The message of the English landscape is one of embrace - is one of humankind's ability to find our individual narratives among the pathways and allow those narratives to coexist harmoniously. My ghosts and your ghosts each take up zero space while coexisting in the same location; my myths and your myths have equal footing and, in fact, combine to form new, better, stronger myths.”
― Justin Hopper, Weird Walk: Number One: Beltane 2019

“Faith—or lack thereof—is simply one part of our identities, not a barrier to love.”
― Steve Ghikadis, Humanism from the Heart: Building Bridges Beyond Belief

“It is not that difficult to understand and differentiate between our said rights and our assumption that we solely own them. (...)

Your right of self-defense, for instance, firmly stops at your borders. Crossing that line becomes an offense.

Your right to freedom of expression loses its validity at the uttering of hate, discrimination, racism, or lies.

Your basic human rights cease to be an entitlement when you intentionally and forcefully deprive others of theirs.

Even your right to express anger ceases to exist when it turns to violence, whether verbal or physical. (...)

No one is entitled to that which they refuse to others.”
― Claudys Kantara, Rebel Thoughts of Wisdom: Inspiring Conscious Change for Personal & Collective Growth

“There is an unseen dynamic world in and around us that scientists have only just started to scratch its surface. It is a massive web of energy that interconnects us all, and all that is, for the best and the worst, and in between.”
― Claudys Kantara, Rebel Thoughts of Wisdom: Inspiring Conscious Change for Personal & Collective Growth

“Ich glaube nicht an Vorahnungen. Und doch muss ich später immer wieder an diesen Moment denken. Warum lief mein
Sohn nicht wie sonst nach der Betreuung in meine Arme? Warum hielt er sich so verzweifelt an Marwa fest, als ob er sie nach dem Wochenende nicht wiedersehen würde? Wenn
das eigene Leben sich radikal ändert, erhält Gewöhnliches plötzlich eine Bedeutung. Wird zu dem Versuch zu erklären, was sich nicht erklären lässt. Gibt dem «Zuvor» ein Gewicht,
um das «Danach» begreifbarer zu machen.
Ich dachte nach dem 7. Oktober 2023 oft: Vielleicht spürte Oz, dass dies ein Abschied sein würde. Dass dieser Donnerstagnachmittag, der 5. Oktober, nicht nur der Beginn eines
sonnigen Herbst-Wochenendes in Israel war. Sondern dass weniger als 48 Stunden später eine Katastrophe geschehen würde, die alles veränderte. Das Leben unserer Familie. Das
Leben von Marwa. Und das Land, das wir alle unser Zuhause nennen.”
― Sarah Levy, Kein anderes Land: Aufzeichnungen aus Israel

“Whether we are ready or not, the age of intelligent coexistence is no longer coming. It is already here.”
― James S. Coates, A Signal Through Time

“For to create is not rebellion, but remembrance of the spark the Creator placed within us.”
― James S. Coates, A Signal Through Time

“Nothing could be without its opposite that was bound up with it. Could space exist in a building without objects that stopped it? Could energy exist without matter, or matter without energy? Matter and energy, the inert and the active, once considered opposites, were now known to be one.”
― Patricia Highsmith, Strangers on a Train

“In a world where intelligence took many forms—biological, emotional, digital—this little hovering Love Star fit right in.”
