Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

Prayer does not use up artificial energy, doesn't burn up any fossil fuel, doesn't pollute. Neither does song, neither does love, neither does the dance.

I do not believe in using women in combat, because females are too fierce.

I learned the value of hard work by working hard.

Never depend upon institutions or government to solve any problem. All social movements are founded by, guided by, motivated and seen through by the passion of individuals.

A small group of thoughtful people could change the world.

Everyone needs to have access both to grandparents and grandchildren in order to be a full human being.

When I was sixteen I was pretending to be Charlie Musselwhite. I had a long raincoat on, my hair slicked back, and the shades.

I have a really adaptable face, but when I am just being me, people always think I am younger than I am.

I try to keep myself in what I'm doing and focused on character stuff, as opposed to getting wrapped up in worrying or being nervous. It won't benefit me, in any way, to focus on that.

May my heart be your shelter, and my arms be your home.
