The world needs the sense that we are all in it together.

I often wonder if you wrote your memoir today, if your life story would be lived on the edge of possibility, if you held wonder in one hand and courage in the other and truly believed that anything was possible.

Our senses are indeed our doors and windows on this world, in a very real sense the key to the unlocking of meaning and the wellspring of creativity.

The more you love, the more loving you become. That's just the way it works. It is a generosity of spirit.

When we are calling forth the depth and genius of the other, then we grow.

You've had a whole lot of experience, but everything is also radically new at each moment, and you have to bring a kind of childlike second-level innocence to bear upon all situations, if you are going to be of use and you are going to really learn from the situation or the people.

No matter the situation, never let your emotions overpower your intelligence.
