For many, religion has to do with what we are allowed to do and not allowed to do. In the end, that doesn't bear fruit.

Pay attention to the people God puts in your path if you want to discern what God is up to in your life.

What makes us human is not our mind but our heart, not our ability to think but our ability to love.

For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.

You don't think your way into a new kind of living. You live your way into a new kind of thinking.

My whole life I have been complaining that my work was constantly interrupted, until I discovered that my interruptions were my work.

In a world so torn apart by rivalry, anger, and hatred, we have the privileged vocation to be living signs of a love that can bridge all divisions and heal all wounds.

The main question is not, how can we hide our wounds...but how can we put our woundedness in service to others.

Children copy their parents, friends, and teachers. They will develop the habits of the people around them. So if you want your child to be honest, peaceful and happy you should be that way first.

I think people are quite surprised that the handwriting I use in my drawings and paintings is my own handwriting. They're slightly shocked when I write them a letter.

To try and fit reincarnation into a neat mental package is very unwise. You will be very surprised when you discover that it doesn't work out that way. Your illusions will be painful for you.

Success in the United States is not an entitlement in China. You have to go there and earn it, and earn it the right way.

The movie medium will eventually take its place as art because there is no other medium of interest to so many people.

What you notice is the loneliness. Daniel started to isolate himself, because it hurt less than being pushed away.

I suppose I see myself as a modern soul artist.

We find rhetorical situations everywhere in life, and only our imaginations can get us out of them.

Once the last trace of emotion has been eradicated, nothing remains of thought but absolute tautology.
