Not loving is a letting go. Listen, The terrain around here Is Far too Dangerous For That.

Your love Should never be offered to the mouth of a Stranger, Only to someone Who has the valor and daring To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife Then weave them into a blanket To protect you.

Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.

I once asked a bird, how is it that you fly in this gravity of darkness? She responded, 'love lifts me.'

I wish I could show you...the astonishing light of your own being.

Fear is the cheapest room in the house. I would like to see you living in better conditions.

I am in love with every church And mosque And temple And any kind of shrine Because I know it is there That people say the different names Of the One God.

Your heart and my heart are very, very old friends.

Be kind to your sleeping heart. Take it out into the vast fields of light...And let it breathe.

This place where you are right now, God circled on a map for you.

You yourself are your own obstacle, rise above yourself.

Expressing anger is an art. The more grace you apply to it, the more effective it shall be.

Death like style is the removal of rubbish.

Grumbling is the death of love.

Governing is occupying but not interesting, governments are occupying but not interesting.

Guns don't kill, people do.

If you have a footprint, be happy, because it means that you aren't a shadow!

I want to check the record books and see how many fathers and daughters have won Grammys together.

"Alexander, were you looking for me?" "All my life."

People are interested in family traditions, and I think a lot of families can benefit from some of the ways that my parents dealt with the challenges of raising four kids.

The record of a generous life runs like a vine around the memory of our dead, and every sweet unselfish act is now a perfumed flower.
