"...the opposite of love is not hate -- it's apathy. It's not giving a damn. If somebody hates me, they must "feel"something ... or they couldn't possibly hate. Therefore, there's some way in which I can get to them."
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
"The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position."
"Risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing."
"The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises."
"Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life."
