Some people think it's naive to think we can make love our new bottom line. What I believe is naive is thinking human civilization as we know it will survive another two hundred years if we do not.

There is nothing Madison Avenue can give us that will make us more beautiful women. We are beautiful because God created us that way.

Every day can be like Christmas in its love and its peace if our hearts open up and make room for love. The holy child is waiting to be born in every instant, not just once a year.

In every heart there is an inner room, where we can hold our greatest treasures and our deepest pain.

Physical circumstances have very little to do with either our capacity to love or to attract love.

When the heart is pierced, there is pain, yes, but also an invitation to a greater becoming.

We are here to repair the world. I grew up thinking that was what everybody was trying to do.
