When people gain income, they gain choice, and that is fundamental to dignity.

What would the world look like if we asked ourselves the following more often; are our actions helping others find a way to feel more freer, more dignified and more beautiful?

I think I still have a great sense of adventure and trust, and am surprisingly idealistic given all the horrible things I've seen since I was 25. I think how I have changed is that I have a much deeper understanding of the dark forces in the world, of power.

Our lives are so short. And our time on this planet is so precious. All we have is each other.

Listening is not only about waiting, but it's also learning how better to ask questions.

Each of us can work to change a small portion of events. And it's in the total of all those acts that the history of this generation will be written.

The older I get, the more determined I feel to do whatever I can to help release that human potential somehow. Not in a fluffy way nor in a hardcore way. But in that middle ground, that marriage of love and power. I'm not afraid of either.
