There is a thing called the death wish, a literal thing. it doesn't mean you want to die. it just means however we're built, as we get into these years, some inner part of you does begin to accept the fact that you're heading towards the end, and there's a peace that comes with that.

There Is A Thing Called The Death

Frank Langella
There is a thing called the death wish, a literal thing. it doesn't mean you want to die. it just means however we're built, as we get into these years, some inner part of you does begin to accept the fact that you're heading towards the end, and there's a peace that comes with that.

More From Frank Langella

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
Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

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.

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.

Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.

Peace starts within each one of us. when we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. when our community is in a state of peace, it can share peace with neighboring communities, and so on. when we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.

Similar Quotes
As long as we observe love for others and respect for their rights and dignity in our daily lives, then whether we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in the buddha or god, follow some religion or none at all, as long as we have compassion for others and conduct ourselves with restraint out of a sense of responsibility, there is no doubt we will be happy.
Kindness Believe Responsibility
But the most common species of love is that which first arises from beauty, and afterwards diffuses itself into kindness and into the bodily appetite. kindness or esteem, and the appetite to generation, are too remote to unite easily together. the one is, perhaps, the most refined passion of the soul; the other the most gross and vulgar. the love of beauty is placed in a just medium betwixt them, and partakes of both their natures: from whence it proceeds, that it is so singularly fitted to produce both.
Love Kindness Passion
In what terms should we think of these beings, nonhuman yet possessing so very many human-like characteristics? how should we treat them? surely we should treat them with the same consideration and kindness as we show to other humans; and as we recognize human rights, so too should we recognize the rights of the great apes? yes.
Kindness Thinking Rights
That which occasions so many mistakes in the computations of men, when they expect return for favors, is that the giver's pride and the receiver's cannot agree upon the value of the kindness done.
