Until you let go of that bitterness in your heart, it will find a comfortable place to destroy your dreams, your sight and most times, your sleep.

If you are someone who dislikes, condemns and rejects new ideas, you aren’t fit to lead.

You can’t shower happiness on others without getting few drops back on yourself.

You can’t afford to limit your joy. It has been proven several times that angry people are never happy people.

Anyone who wants to prevent you from making other people happy is an enemy. If you are stopping yourself from making others happy, you are your own enemy.

You put your own joy in prison if you work hard to make other people’s happiness suffocate.

Do what you can with all love and passion irrespective of whether it pays you well or not. Joy in the result lives longer than the joy in the reward.

The essence of one life is empowering another life, and so your passion has to be linked to the liberation of other people’s happiness.

Hatred is a burden that can hunt you day by day, robbing you off your personal joy in broad day light.

Haters can never rejoice especially when their enemy wins. The moment you can’t be happy when someone wins, watch yourself. That habit is not good for you.

Sometimes, people don’t need our monies and our treasures. All they need is our encouragements to give them hope.

The fate of man is man.

There is a very vibrant cultural scene in Stockholm. There are lots of places where there are concerts, and there are loads of museums and theaters.

The cliches of a culture sometimes tell the deepest truths.

Prophets are those who take life as it is and expand it. They refuse to shrink a vision of tomorrow to the boundaries of yesterday.

To glorify the past and paint the future is easy, to survey the present and emerge with some light and understanding is difficult.

The world is on a bumpy journey to a new destination and the New Normal.

Often much of my work is very optimistic, or solution-based. I have always believed that art is a tool for transformation, and something that should give people some kind of agency.

I like New York better than Seattle. It's bigger. I was really sad when I left, because I miss my friends, but I call them almost every day, and I have friends here now.

You cannot win a battle in any arena merely by defending yourself.

But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.
