As I grow through love, so grows my joy, ever more present, ever more constant.

We cannot be a source for strength unless we nurture our own strength.

Love always requires courage and involves risk.

Not only do self-love and love of others go hand in hand but ultimately they are indistinguishable.

The act of loving is an act of self-evolution even when the purpose of the act is someone else's growth.

Life is difficult.

If an act is not one of work or courage, then it is not an act of love. There are no exceptions.

I don't want to do something just for money or fame; I have to enjoy working on it! If I start to work for everyone and everything, I could not look at myself in the mirror again.

Use your head; cut off theirs.

I'm pretty content with what I have, but the one thing that I don't have is something like the iPod - but PC-based. I think that would be cool.

Unfortunately justice is the train that's nearly always late.
