Capitalism has been really good to me. I'm very fortunate: I have written books and my books have sold.

The Real You isn't damaged goods. The Real You is the light of the universe.

Once you've had enough and you can't do it anymore, you consider the possibility that there might be a better way. That's when your head cracks open and God comes in.

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.

Jesus said that we would someday do even greater works than He; should we not take Him at His word? And should not 'someday' be today? It's time for us to start working miracles, if indeed we have the capacity within us to do so.

We're all assigned a piece of the garden, a corner of the universe that is ours to transform.

I don't feel there is any spiritual or metaphysical justification for turning our backs on human suffering.
