I lived in a dictatorship in Brazil, and I was arrested three times. I felt in my flesh what it is to live under such a regime and experience deprivation of freedom.

We are neither worse nor better than those who eye us critically.

Each day for me is a musical note that I use to compose the symphony of my life.

I needed to talk about my real personal history, in order to become free of it.

I don't know what to do. I only know that it's taken me years to understand that life was pushing me in a direction I didn't want to go in.

if you force yourself to be the same as everyone else. It causes neuroses, psychoses, and paranoia. it's a distortion of nature, it goes against God's laws, for in all the world's woods and forests he did not create a single leaf the same as another.

People who are on a spiritual quest don't think, they simply want results.
