Too often, we pour the energy needed for recognizing and exploring difference into pretending those differences are insurmountable barriers, or that they do not exist at all.

Revolution is not a one time event.

Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.

We are all more blind to what we have than to what we have not.

There are secrets everywhere. I think everyone's parents have secrets. You just have to know where to look for them.

People who have time on their hands will inevitably waste the time of people who have work to do.
