Art is not living. It is the use of living. The artist has the ability to take the living and use it in a certain way and produce art.

It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.

You will never be able to defend your city while shouting.

As we come to know, accept, and explore our feelings, they will become sanctuaries and fortresses and spawning grounds for the most radical and daring of ideas-the house of difference so necessary to change and the conceptualization of any meaningful action.

Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge.

If you can't change reality, change your perceptions of it.

We must wake up knowing we have work to do and go to bed knowing we've done it.
