For me, spiritual means love in action. So if you are working for love, then you are a spiritual person.

We need each other, deeper than anyone ever dares to admit even to themselves. I think it is a genetic imperative that we huddle together and hold on to each other. There is no question in my mind that there is nothing else in life, really, than friendship.

We can never get a re-creation of community and heal our society without giving our citizens a sense of belonging.

I've never made a penny being a doctor, so that makes it not a job. My sense of a doctor is that one is a presence caring for health. So I'm never not a doctor. People call me from all over the world who are hurting, and I care for them. Chatting is what more people want than anything.

I think my government are fascists. I feel that if we don't change from a society that worships money and power over to one that worships compassion and generosity, there is no hope for human survival this century.

One cannot separate the health of the individual from the health of the community, from the health of the world.

The value of friendship and just deep human contact grows out of giving.
