Jean Vanier Needs Quotations

Every act of violence is also a message that needs to be understood. (23-24)

The strong need the weak as much as the weak need the strong

We who are rich are often demanding and difficult. We shut ourselves up in our apartments and may even use a watchdog to defend our property. Poor people, of course, have nothing to defend and often share the little they have. When people have all the material things they need, they seem not to need each other. They are self-sufficient. There is no interdependence. There is no love.
