The conflicts we have with the outside world are often conflicts we have within ourselves.

It will feel impossible; like you are dying inside this is your soul crying out for life. It may take everything you have; every ounce of will and strength. You will lose a part of yourself trying to save something essential and innocent. And when you have given everything, you will recover and you will be set free, and you will discover there was even more in you than you ever knew.

The realities of the world seldom measure up to the sublime designs of human imagination.

You do not have to do anything to defend yourself in life; just be beautiful, and life will defend you.

Revolution starts in the mind. Question everything!

It has been my experience that if we make the effort to listen to people when we meet them, and work to get to know them a little, it is then easy to find something likeable in practically anyone.

Respectful communication under conflict or opposition is an essential and truly awe-inspiring ability.
