People are only mean when they're threatened, and that's what our culture does...And when you get threatened, you start looking out only for yourself. You start making money a god. It is all part of this culture.

I thought about the days i had handed over to a bottle..the nights i can't remember..the mornings i slept thru..all the time spent running from myself.

Don't let our outside labels or how fervent we look or zealous we are or how righteous we seem; that's not how you measure yourself against other people. Everyone is a child of God; if we really believed that, we'd treat each other better.

In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did and why you no longer need to feel it.

Invest in the human family. Invest in people. Build a little community of those you love and who love you.

Mankind is connected in ways it does not understand - even in dreams.

Sometimes, love brings you together even as life keeps you apart.
