I decided that we should have a flag, that a flag fit us as a symbol, that we are a people, a tribe if you will. And flags are about proclaiming power, so it's very appropriate.

We needed something to express our joy, our beauty, our power. And the rainbow did that.

My parents and I didn't speak for 10 years. It took a long time to rebuild that relationship.

The rainbow flag is a symbol of freedom and liberation that we made for ourselves.

The only kind of universe that I can even begin to conceive is an inconceivable one.

It's not how you start, it's how you finish.

As long as the Earth can make a spring every year, I can.

We pay for the mistakes of our ancestors, and it seems only fair that they should leave us the money to pay with.

Don't be afraid to fall flat on your face.

I was caught in a private cycle of sadness and the only conceivable relief I could find was in the telling.

God has hooked me up.He has the life by design.

More than any religious figure that I can think of, Dalai Lama goes out of his way to attend interfaith conferences; religious harmony is one of his urgent priorities in life.

VISUALIZE!!! Rehearse your future.

Minds are like oysters. They spoil if you pry them open.
