Address to the European Parliament (10 March 2015)
@ People thrive where there is mutual respect. Civilisation is built on it. Futures are better for it.
But co-existence must be made, and made again, in every generation. The common good is defended only by vigilance and action. This means more than security measures. Humanity must arm itself with ideas, with justice and with economic and social inclusion.
Today, these challenges have special importance. Our world faces an assault by terrorists with ruthless ambition. The motive is not faith, it is power; power pursued by ripping countries and communities apart in sectarian conflicts, and inflicting suffering across the world.[1]

Quotes·Quotations by Haruki Murakami
¶ I’m the lonely voyager standing on deck, and she’s the sea. The sky is a blanket of gray, merging with the gray sea off on the horizon. It’s hard to tell the difference between sea and sky. Between voyager and sea. Between reality and the workings of the heart. [Kafka on the Shore]

Quotes·Quotations by Björn Andrésen[2]
@ I was just sixteen and Visconti and the team took me to a gay nightclub. Almost all the crew were gay. The waiters at the club made me feel very uncomfortable. They looked at me uncompromisingly as if I was a nice meaty dish. I knew I couldn't react. It would have been social suicide. But it was the first of many such encounters.
Quoted in Matt Seaton, "I feel used," The Guardian (2003-10-16)
@ My career is one of the few that started at the absolute top and then worked its way down. That was lonely.

¶ Just because you are seventy is no excuse to give up and let others make your decisions for you. The fact that you are still alive is reason enough to believe that you are here for a purpose; and that purpose is to learn, to teach, and to GIVE.
¶ Listen to your I AM’s. You are your I AM’s – the ones you feel in your gut. And the moment that you say, “I refuse to listen to my limitations any more; I refuse to be this or that; I am happier; I am healthier; I am more open; I am more trusting,” you start becoming that way.
¶ YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU. Assuming a responsibility means changing a wrong into a right. In other words, if the way you feel is not right, then assuming responsibility means changing it.
¶ You don't have to be sick to get better! You don't have to have a bad attitude to get a better one.
¶ You don’t have to have a bad attitude to get a better one. All too often we resist a change because we assume change means that we were “not OK” which hurts our self-image. Your attitude may be great right now…and it can get even better. Why not get better? Why not do more, be more? Why not extend those limits?
¶ Leadership is not a right or a position, it is a responsibility.
