Suzy Kassem Quotes

One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.

I recognize every member of the human family as a brother; and if it was done by human beings, it was done by my brethren.

We’re creatures of contact regardless of whether/ we kiss or we wound. Still, we must come together.

I have been a lucky man. To feel the intimacy of brothers is a marvelous thing in life. To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life. But to feel the affection that comes from those whom we do not know, from those unknown to us, who are watching over our sleep and solitude, over our dangers and our weaknesses – that is something still greater and more beautiful because it widens out the boundaries of our being, and unites all living things.

Consider no one a stranger. Learn to feel that everybody is akin to you.

Life doesn't make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all.

I am a human being; nothing human can be alien to me.

People need to spread love towards strangers. We all bleed the same blood and we are all part of a global community now.

And suddenly, like light in darkness, the real truth broke in upon me; the simple fact of Man, which I had forgotten, which had lain deep buried and out of sight; the idea of community, of unity.

The irony is that the more specific you are in the portrayal of character, the more like other people you are. In the same way, the more you think about how alone you are in this life, you realise how much a brother and sister everyone else is.

Life is relationship, living is relationship. We cannot live if you and I have built a wall around ourselves and just peep over that wall occasionally. Unconsciously, deeply, under the wall, we are related.

I'm trying to make connections. That's all we do as human beings on the planet, isn't it? We try to connect.

Every time we open our hearts, we create the space for a global alternative.

That's the great secret of humans: we're all the same person. The best thing to do is just go for the hug.

I'm glad that the lyrics reach people and make them understand that we're all the same, really.

There are moments when the heart is generous, and then it knows that for better or worse our lives are woven together here, one with one another and with the place and all the living things.

Love is the glue that holds the world together.

We can only be human together.

Every heart is the other heart. Every soul is the other soul. Every face is the other face. The individual is the one illusion.

...the word that seems best to summarize the desire of the human heart is 'communion.' ...wherever we look it is communion that we seek.

We are more alike than unalike.

We live in community, and we're created in community. We're created out of the unity of two people, and then we're made into a family. It's just inherent in who we are.

The thing we need most is each other.

Once you get below the floor of our personal identities, we're all connected. Perhaps that's why we can move into others' lives.

We need to put love back into the world remind the world that love is important. We're all one.
