Animals are not our playthings. We are on this earth to protect them. It's our duty.

We're all worth it, man. We're all worth millions of planets and stars and galaxies and universes.

Although I can't stop all cruelty to living creatures on the planet, I can be kinder to every living creature in my life.

Run to the rescue with love/and peace will follow

I’ve learned that if you can’t get it all together to accomplish this thing called peace, you do at least your part in your life, because that’s where you can truly make an immediate difference.

It still strikes me as strange that anyone could have any moral objection to someone else's sexuality. It's like telling someone else how to clean their house.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't as conscious as I am. It would be so much easier.

In simplicity there is truth.

Animals can't really voice their opinion. We feel as though we can be on of the spokespeople on their behalf.

I don't want to die in a car accident. When I die it'll be a glorious day. It'll probably be a waterfall.

Awaken your mind from the deep sleep of ancient mysticism and make it self-conscious - power will come, glory will come, goodness will come and everything that is excellent will come.

Self-doubt does more to sabotage individual potential than all external limitations put together.

Happiness is when there is no hunger or want at all, when we're completely free of all hunger, desire, and want.

I'm a huge fan of 'Sons of Anarchy.'

The quality of life is so much higher anyplace you can ski in the morning and surf in the evening - there's something to be said for that.

To be able to say that "if we change our point of view in the following way ... things are simpler" is always a gain.

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Reason and reality are the only means to just laws; mindless wishes, if given sovereignty, become deadly masters.

As long as I am focusing on the faults of others, then I don't have to face my own.

I want people to be like, 'Your album's just as good as Kendrick [Lamar]'s or Esperanza Spalding or Beck. I work just as hard as them.
