The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school. Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests - not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life.

You can't win enough, you can't have enough money, you can't succeed enough. There is not enough. The only thing that will ever satiate that existential thirst is love. And I just remember that day I made the shift from wanting to be a winner to wanting to have the most powerful, deep, and beautiful relationships I could possibly have.

The first step is you have to say that you can.

If you want somethin', go get it. Period.

I don't want to be an icon. I want to be an idea. I want to represent possibilities.

You have to make every group you come in contact with better.
