All my life I have longed to have a loving relationship that would last a lifetime.

We don't really live in a culture that loves boys or loves children, and we don't encourage boys to be whole.

It's interesting--the way in which one has to balance life--because you have to know when to let go and when to pull back.... There's always some liminal (as opposed to subliminal) space in between which is harder to inhabit because it never feels as safe as moving from one extreme to another.

The function of art is to do more than tell it like it is-it’s to imagine what is possible.

One of the major differences I see in the political climate today is that there is less collective support for coming to critical consciousness – in communities, in institutions, among friends.

The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom.

The true teacher is within us. A good teacher is someone who can help you to go back and touch the true teacher within, because you already have the insight within you.
