"The horrendous energy that we’re all
feeling, and the possibility of turning it into more violence, and revenge,
we can stop that. We can take that energy and turn it into something
else. We can turn it into compassion, and to love, and to understanding."
"That’s apparently unpopular right now,
but that’s alright."
Richard Gere addresses the crowd at concert for
N.Y. firefighters and police
"Bush's
plans for war are a bizarre bad dream. There doesn't appear to be any
sort of basis for any of this. I have a feeling something hidden is
at work here that will someday see the light of day."

The
Power of Love Richard Gere Says Even Terrorists Deserve Compassion
"If
you can see them [the terrorists] as a relative who's dangerously sick
and we have to give them medicine and the medicine is love and compassion.
There's nothing better."
But,
he said, we must also think about "the terrorists who are creating
such horrible future lives for themselves because of the negativity
of this karma. If you see it from a much wider point of view, we're
all in this together. We're all intimately interconnected in all of
these actions."

"I keep asking myself where all
this personal enmity between George Bush and Saddam Hussein comes from.
It's like the story of Captain Ahab and the great white whale from Moby
Dick." Gere, a Buddhist, added: "We have to say 'stop', there's no reason
for a war. At the moment Hussein is not threatening anybody. "It'd be
different if he was staring somebody down with a loaded gun in his hand.
But there doesn't seem to be any indications whatsoever that this man
poses an immediate threat to anybody. "America has never paid any attention
to other people, so it's absurd for Bush to say that it's all in the
best interests of the Iraqi people. "If the United States marches into
Iraq without the backing of the United Nations, that will be done entirely
without the backing of the American people."
