"A sword is useless in the hands of a coward. The mighty sword of the Lotus Sutra must be wielded by one courageous in faith. Then one will be as strong as a demon armed with an iron staff."

(Reply to Kyō'ō

"'Light enlightens,'* declared the great French writer Victor Hugo (1802-85). His masterpiece Les Misérables relates the quest for the light that makes people strong and happy. He sought to enable ordinary people to triumph over misery, to illuminate youth who were forced to endure suffering.

"Hugo also said that daring is the driving force for progress.**

"The courage to take action for justice and humanity makes our lives shine brilliantly."

* Victor Hugo, Les Misérables, translated by Julie Rose (New York: The Modern Library, 2009), p. 486.
