I'm still thinking and hoping there's an opportunity for people to have better lives and that significant change can occur.

I've seen and met angels wearing the disguise of ordinary people living ordinary lives.

I dressed up as a veterinarian for a Halloween costume party. I had the lab coat. I got a couple of stuffed animals for patients and put bandages on them.

There's a power in words. There's a power in being able to explain and describe and articulate what you know and feel and believe about the world, and about yourself.

At this point in my life Id like to live as if only love mattered.

So don't be tempted by the shiny apple Don't you eat of a bitter fruit Hunger only for a taste of justice Hunger only for a world of truth 'Cause all that you have is your soul.

We all must live our lives always feeling, always thinking the moment has arrived.

I don't try to project any image at all, other than the person that I am.

Why do babies starve /When there's enough food to feed the world /Why when there's so many of us /Are there people still alone

We are the spirit, the collective conscience. We create the pain, and suffering, and beauty in this world.

You have to pay attention to the moment and make it the best it can be for you. I've been trying to do that. It's really made a major difference for me. I'm a happier person.

I needed him like I'd never needed anyone.

Healing happens when we recognize that the world our ego sees is a world of projection. The world our soul perceives is a revelation of great truth, love and beauty.

The world was new each day for God so made it daily. Yet it contained within it all the evils as before, no more, no less.

the most censorious are generally the least judicious; who, having nothing to recommend themselves, will be finding fault with others. No man envies the merit of another, that has any of his own.

We need to figure out how to have the things we love, and not destroy the world.

We say that if America has entered the war to make the world safe for democracy, she must first make democracy safe in America.

My soul, alas, needs these uneasinesses in outward things, to be driven to take refuge in God.

I don't think that just because a lot of my music has a quieter aesthetic; [it] excludes me from achieving that in a live setting, from being dangerous or something.

Leaders will not experience long-term success unless a lot of people want them to.

We... heal ourselves by giving others what we most need.
