Respond to stressful times by turning towards each other, rather than away from each other.

We think we have no power when in fact we have more than enough power.

My spiritual path has largely been Christianity - a label that I embraced and then rejected and have partially embraced again, as my understanding of Christianity has changed over time. When I accepted the mainstream, dogmatic definition of Christianity there came a point when I had to say, "Well, if that's what a Christian is, I'm not one."

If we want to change that status quo, we might have to work outside of those rules because the legal pathways available to us have been structured precisely to make sure we don’t make any substantial change.

The reality is not that I lack respect for the law; it's that I have greater respect for justice.

I would never go to jail to protect animals or plants or wilderness. For me, it’s about the people.

What one person can do is to plant the seeds of love and outrage in the hearts of a movement. And if those hearts are fertile ground, those seeds of love and outrage will grow into a revolution.
