We're all shipwrecked on this idea that everything has to be explained.

I've been shot down so many times, I get altitude sickness just from standing up for myself.

We grew up learning to cheer on the underdog because we see ourselves in them.

Look at an avalanche, and see that we are at our most powerful when we let go. Look at a flower, and see that we are at our most beautiful when we open up.

You see, the deaf have an intimacy with silence. It’s there in their dreams.

If you can't see anything beautiful about yourself, get a better mirror.

You, me, this city, this country, we will always have a choice.When you stand up to be counted, tell the world, THIS IS MY VOICE. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
