When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind. Jiddu Krishnamurti
The willingness to reach inside every part of yourself opens the door to total understanding. You place your entire identity on the line, not just an isolated part.

That's very convenient because you can then say, 'Of course I'm not a monster, therefore I'm not a criminal therefore I... David Cronenberg
Be so good as to cease to cast yourself in fictions. Pinch yourself, or slap yourself across the face if that's what it takes, but understand, please, that you are nonfictional, and this is real life. Salman Rushdie
