I think there is a sense of being forced at this time to look at America's really large shadow and that's not all that bad.

I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart.

You must learn to love only that which cannot be stolen.

Every small positive change we make in ourselves repays us in confidence in the future.

My activism really is for myself, because I see places in the world where I feel I should be. If there is something really bad, really evil, happening somewhere, then that is where I should be. I need, for myself, to feel that I have stood there. It feels a lot better than just watching it on television.

The animals of the planet are in desperate peril... Without free animal life I believe we will lose the spiritual equivalent of oxygen.

Look closely at the present you are constructing: it should look like the future you are dreaming.
