How simple a thing it seems to me that to know ourselves as we are, we must know our mothers names.

A writer's heart, a poet's heart, an artist's heart, a musician's heart is always breaking. It is through that broken window that we see the world.

Listen, God loves everything you love, and a mess of stuff you don't.

I love us so incredibly, insanely deeply; it's almost unbearable to see what we do to ourselves.

Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul.

The Animals of the planet are in desperate peril and they are fully aware of this. No less than human beings are doing in all parts of the world, they are seeking sanctuary.

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