More From Veronica Roth

I hold it that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms are in the physical. unsuccessful rebellions, indeed, generally establish the encroachments on the rights of the people, which have produced them. an observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much. it is medicine necessary for the sound health of government.

We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.
Peace Mean Self
It just was a gradual development over the years. i mean last year was 'all you need is love.' this year, it's 'all you need is love and peace, baby.' give peace a chance, and remember love. the only hope for us is peace. violence begets violence. you can have peace as soon as you like if we all pull together. you're all geniuses, and you're all beautiful. you don't need anyone to tell you who you are. you are what you are. get out there and get peace, think peace, and live peace and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.

I have just been to a city in the west, a city full of poets, a city they have made safe for poets. the whole city is so lovely that you do not have to write it up to make it poetry; it is ready-made for you. but, i don't know - the poetry written in that city might not seem like poetry if read outside of the city. it would be like the jokes made when you were drunk; you have to get drunk again to appreciate them.

We can never obtain peace in the world if we neglect the inner world and don't make peace with ourselves. world peace must develop out of inner peace. without inner peace it is impossible to achieve world peace, external peace. weapons themselves do not act. they have not come out of the blue. man has made them. but even given those weapons, those terrible weapons, they cannot act by themselves. as long as they are left alone in storage they cannot do any harm. a human being must use them. someone must push the button. satan, the evil powers, cannot push that button. human beings must do it.

Perhaps peace is not, after all, something you work for, or 'fight for.' it is indeed 'fighting for peace' that starts all the wars. what, after all, are the pretexts of all these cold war crises, but 'fighting for peace?' peace is something you have or do not have. if you are yourself at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world. then share your peace with everyone, and everyone will be at peace.

There was a research i think team, which conducted a survey about what indians think of americans, and 71 percent i believe said, well, i think all the nice things about our working together with the united states. but there are people i think that are old mind-sets, who still i think remain mired in the cold war ideology.
