“What I do shows people what kind of person I am.”

It’s amazing how people can get so excited about a rocket to the moon and not give a damn about smog, oil leaks, the devastation of the environment with pesticides, hunger, disease.

There is no such thing as defeat in non-violence.

There’s no turning back. We will win. We are winning because ours is a revolution of mind and heart.

Non-violence has suffered its biggest defeat in the hands of people who most want to talk about it.

Preservation of one’s own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other.

It is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do we find life.

There are many reasons for why a man does what he does. To be himself he must be able to give it all. If a leader cannot give it all he cannot expect his people to give anything.

We do not need to kill or destroy to win. We are a movement that builds and not destroys.

In giving of yourself, you will discover a whole new life full of.

Our struggle is not easy. Those who oppose our cause are rich and powerful and they have many allies in high places. We are poor. Our allies are few. But we have something the rich do not own. We have our bodies and spirits and the justice of our cause as our weapons.

You know, if people are not pacifists, it’s not their fault. It’s because society puts them in that spot. You’ve got to change it. You don’t just change a man – you’ve got to change his environment as you do it.

It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on earth. It is an awesome opportunity.

In the final analysis it doesn’t really matter what the political system is. We don’t need perfect political systems; we need perfect participation.

If you are interested in preventing animal suffering, the first thing you should give up is eggs and milk, because the animals who produce those foods lead the most unhappy lives. You would do better to eat meat and stop eating eggs and dairy products.

Because we have suffered, and we are not afraid to suffer in order to survive, we are ready to give up everything – even our lives – in our struggle for justice.

Through Gandhi and my own life experience, I have learned about nonviolence. I believe that human life is a very special gift from God, and that no one has a right to take that away in any cause, however just. I am convinced that nonviolence is more powerful than violence.

I’m just kind of taking what I get and making the best out of it, honestly.

ADHM’ is a very contemporary kind of film. Ranbir Kapoor has performed very well.

No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities.

I think, for an actor, variety is the spice of life. They should do all kinds of roles, so I don’t believe in limiting myself.

I feel like the thing that I’ve learned a lot is when you’re involved in something, you don’t always get to appreciate it for what it is as much. You’re focused on the details and how you can make it better. It’s kind of torture.

I’ve never been a boyfriend kind of girl.

I’m the kind of person, if, if I have a day that is nerve-wracking, or my week has been bad or something’s going down, I won’t eat. Some people eat, I don’t eat. And it shows in my physical frame.

Mankind was not meant to suffer — bliss is our nature. The individual is cosmic. Let’s rock.
