Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.

Alpha-60: your name is written "ivan johnson," but it is pronounced "lemmy caution," secret agent zero zero three of the outlands. you are a threat to the security of alphaville. caution: i refuse to become what you call "normal." ... alpha-60: you cannot escape. the door is locked. caution: try to stop me, pal.

Some of you may feel that you are not as attractive and beautiful and glamorous as you would like to be. rise above any such feelings, cultivate the light you have within you, and it will shine through as a radiant expression that will be seen by others. you need never feel inferior. you need never feel that you were born without talents or without opportunities to give them expression. cultivate whatever talents you have, and they will grow anв refine and become an expression of your true self appreciated by others.

It is a great thing to be at your age... you are at a very specific time of age ... an age where you can follow all your dreams. but also at an age when you can change-you can change your dreams, you can change paths. when you start something when you're young, you should not decide 'this is it, this is my way and i will go all the way.' you have the age where you can change. you get experience, and maybe dislike it and go another way. your age is still an age of exploration.
