“I believe that in the 20th century, humanity has learned from many, many experiences. Some positive, and many negative.”

Tenzin Gyatso (1935) spiritual leader of Tibet

Interview in The New York Times (28 November 1993).
Context: I believe that in the 20th century, humanity has learned from many, many experiences. Some positive, and many negative. What misery, what destruction! The greatest number of human beings were killed in the two world wars of this century. But human nature is such that when we face a tremendous critical situation, the human mind can wake up and find some other alternative. That is a human capacity.
