The identity of your weaknesses and misfortunes, the need that you have one for another, the shortness of your lives, the spectacle of the infinite greatness of the spheres, and the comparison of these with your own littleness, all ought to unite you fraternally, as voyagers threatened with shipwreck.”
― Pedro Antonio de Alarcón, The Strange Friend of Tito Gil

“I don’t divide ordinary life from spiritual life. They are one, they are inseparably one. To separate them is to create a split humanity, a schizophrenic humanity. Life is a unity, an organic unity, indivisible. Nothing is higher and nothing is lower. There is no hierarchy, everything exists simultaneously on the same plane. So nothing has to be renounced, nothing has to be rejected.
Of course everything has to be transformed and transformed through love, transformed through bliss, transformed through joy.”
― Osho, First in the Morning: 365 Uplifting Moments to Start the Day Consciously

“We can’t let these people take our country away from us.” It has been said.
“...these people"...? Let that sink in for a minute. I am one of those "these people".
The use of "these people" is exclusionary and does contribute to an "us versus them" mentality.
I think that the title we give ourselves "human race" is appropriate, however, I think that we are not judged by who finishes first, but how many can we bring with us to the finish line. This is a collective journey, not judged by individual speed or entitlements. The importance of unity, cooperation, and supporting one another is our shared task in this journey of life and the means are judged to produce the end. All things we do on this journey matter.”
― Michael J. Marcel, Sr.

“Call it pious, but whether unified or divided, the civilized will try to live worlds apart from violence.”

― Salman Rushdie, Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights

“We're the cure for the hatred caused by despair. We’re the good morning of a bus driver who remembers our name, the tattooed man who gives up his seat on the subway. We’re every door held open with a smile when we look into each other’s eyes the way we behold the moon. We’re the moon. We’re the promise of one people, one breath declaring to one another: I see you. I need you. I am you.”
― Richard Blanco, How to Love a Country

“How I still want to sing despite all the truth
of our wars and our gunshots ringing louder
than our school bells, our politicians smiling
lies at the mic, the deadlock of our divided
voices shouting over each other instead of
singing together. How I want to sing again--
beautiful or not, just to be harmony--from
sea to shining sea--with the only country
I know enough to know how to sing for.”
― Richard Blanco, How to Love a Country

― James William Steven Parker

We should all be fighting for peace rather than fighting each other.”
― De philosopher DJ Kyos

“There will be sadness," Alia intoned. "I remind you that all things are but a beginning, forever beginning. Worlds wait to be conquered. Some within the sound of my voice will attain exalted destinies. You will sneer at the past, forgetting what I tell you now: within all differences there is unity.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah

“So love with phantoms cheats our longing eyes,
Which hourly seeing never satisfies;
Our hands pull nothing from the parts they strain,
But wander o’er the lovely limbs in vain:
Nor when the youthful pair more closely join,
When hands in hands they lock, and thighs in thighs they twine,
Just in the raging foam of full desire,
When both press on, both murmur, both expire,
They gripe, they squeeze, their humid tongues they dart,
As each would force their way to t’other’s heart –
In vain; they only cruise about the coast,
For bodies cannot pierce, nor be in bodies lost.”
― John Dryden, Lucretius his six books of epicurean philosophy and Manilius his five books containing a system of the ancient astronomy and astrology together with ... verse with notes by Mr. Tho. Creech
