Ignorance is not bliss. It is the kiss of death. - Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

"I will not join the rat race because I'm not a rat. And I will not blindly follow a specific faith because I'm not a bat. The only race I'll take part in is for humans being humane. It's called the human race, and sadly it's got the least participants."

"If life throws you a few bad notes or vibrations, don't let them interrupt or alter your song."

"A man who tells you to follow him will turn his followers into his company, while a true leader who does not tell you to follow him, will sit in the company of his followers."

"Regardless of your chosen faith, at the end of your life's journey, your heart will be measured in two ways. One, the weight of your conscience must far outweigh the weight of a feather. Two, any impurities in your heart must weigh no more than one feather."

"To become a true global citizen, one must abandon all notions of 'otherness' and instead embrace 'togetherness'."
