Love isn't about what we did yesterday; it's about what we do today and tomorrow and the day after

History is not the past. It is the stories we tell about the past. How we tell these stories - triumphantly or self-critically, metaphysically or dialectally - has a lot to do with whether we cut short or advance our evolution as human beings.

You cannot change any society unless you take responsibility for it, unless you see yourself as belonging to it and responsible for changing it.

Building community is to the collective as spiritual practice is to the individual.
