I refuse to allow any man-made differences to separate me from any other human beings.

I'm here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I'm at, then I go forward to the next place.

I would ask every man and every woman who's had the blessing of having children, 'Would you deny your son or your daughter the ecstasy of finding someone to love?' To love someone takes a lot of courage. So how much more is one challenged when the love is of the same sex and the laws say, 'I forbid you from loving this person'?

To know and not to do is in fact not to know. We need to be active instruments against evil. We need to do.

If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?

I would welcome a friendship with Lynne Hinton. I would welcome an invitation to sit down at her table, but mostly I would welcome her next book.

Exchange love for hate...Thereby, making the present comfortable and the future promising.
