Peace

Peace gathers the words writers reach for when the world feels loud: quiet truces, hard-won calm, and the steady work of living without harm. Quotes in this category range from intimate stillness—breath, solitude, forgiveness—to public visions of justice, reconciliation, and the end of war. You’ll find lines that treat peace as a refuge, but also as a discipline: something negotiated, protected, and sometimes paid for with courage. Poets and philosophers, novelists and activists speak here about laying down weapons, softening the heart, and building conditions where dignity can last. Read for language that cools anger, clarifies purpose, and reminds us that serenity and responsibility often share the same name.
