We have great power to affect the attitudes and behavior of the people around us, at work and at home. We have the power to set a tone of honor, to create an energy around ourselves that says, 'I respect myself. I respect you. Let's respect each other.'

We need to recognize that part our political problem is that we do not participate effectively, that we suffer from a kind of mental slumber.

You've done the bourgeois thing, perhaps, but let's not call that love.

I believe the human race is ready to make a quantum leap forward spiritually and morally.

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

Love, when it is a sacred quest, is a space of resurrection and repair. It does more than help us survive a soulless world; it helps us to transform.

Go forth in confidence and go forth in peace. For there are angels to your left and angels to your right; angels in front of you and angels behind you; angels above you and angels below. You are loved, and you are not alone.
