"Fighting for one's freedom, struggling towards being free, is like struggling to be a poet or a good Christian or a good Jew or a good Muslim or good Zen Buddhist. You work all day long and achieve some kind of level of success by nightfall, go to sleep and wake up the next morning with the job still to be done. So you start all over again."
"It is this belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable."
"If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love."
"When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time."
"When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed."
"In the flush of love's light, we dare be brave. And suddenly we see that love costs all we are, and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free."
