I'm a very distracted person.

What's life without a little risk?

It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.

We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.

Human consciousness is now being drawn inexorably toward the same issues, the gaze of collective attention focused like never before.

The grand destroyer of the world, and the greatest threat... is represented by U.S. imperialism.

Even if you don't believe in God, you still have to believe in something that gives meaning to your life, and shapes your sense of the world. Such a belief is religious.

Rationalism crashes in the tails.

Pin your faith to no ones sleeves, haven't you two eyes of your own.

Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic; but destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country.
