Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.

...the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn. If somebody hates me, they must "feel" something ... or they couldn't possibly hate. Therefore, there's some way in which I can get to them.

The most unfortunate thing that happens to a person who fears failure is that he limits himself by becoming afraid to try anything new.

Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.

I think we need to teach children the importance of others, and that they cannot grow in this world without taking in others. The more worlds they take in, these unique worlds, the more they can become. We need to teach them to trust others again, because we're all frightened to death of each other. We're building higher and higher walls, stronger and stronger locks. Tear down the walls! Every day I see how we're distrusting and it hurts.

A life without love, no matter how many other things we have, is an empty, meaningless one.

Loving yourself involves the discovery of the true wonder of you; not only the present you, but the many possibilities of you. It involves the continual realization that you are unique, like no other person in the world, that life is, or should be, the discovery, the development and the sharing of this uniqueness.
