I don't have a single plan for my life more important than learning to love people well.

I thought, "The flowers, save the flowers..." I never thought for a second we wouldn't save the people

If you ever reach enlightenment. will you remember how to laugh?

I know you think this world is too dark to even dream in color, but I’ve seen flowers bloom at midnight. I’ve seen kites fly in gray skies and they were real close to looking like the sunrise, and sometime it takes the most wounded wings the most broken things to notice how strong the breeze is, how precious the flight.

Someday we will dare to trade good for true

Forests may be gorgeous but there is nothing more alive than a tree that learns how to grow in a cemetery.

If you were to press your heart close up against somebody else’s heart eventually your hearts will start beating at the same time. And two little babies in an incubator, their hearts will beat at the same time. Love that. So if you have somebody in your life that is prone to anxiety, like myself, and if you happen to be a calm person, you could come up and hug me heart to heart and my heart hopefully would slow to yours. And I just love that idea. Or maybe yours would speed up to mine. But either way, we’ll be there together.
