unless a religion springs from within the people themselves, it is a weapon of the system.

We are not myths of the past, ruins in the jungle, or zoos. We are people and we want to be respected, not to be victims of intolerance and racism.

This world's not going to change unless we're willing to change ourselves.

What I treasure most in life is being able to dream. During my most difficult moments and complex situations I have been able to dream of a more beautiful future.

I am like a drop of water on a rock. After drip, drip, dripping in the same place, I begin to leave a mark, and I leave my mark in many people's hearts.

We have learned that change cannot come through war. War is not a feasible tool to use in fighting against the oppression we face. War has caused more problems. We cannot embrace that path.

We say no to the peace that keeps us on our knees, no to the peace that keeps us in chains, no to the false peace that denies the values and contributions of our peoples.

... only those of us who carry our cause in our hearts are willing to run the risks.

The people are the only ones capable of transforming society.

I wish that a conscious sense of peace and a feeling of human solidarity would develop in all peoples.

There is not one world for man and one for animals, they are part of the same one and lead parallel lives.

Life is a dance between what keeps us going and what is holding us back

Sometimes, we need to accept that life doesn’t always go the way we planned.

In the realm of dream and imagination all men are equal.

Gluten is this Generation's Tobacco

I write this sitting in the kitchen sink.

Nothing compares to being truly, exuberantly wanted by your children.

I have rituals for cleaning out resentments, disappointments, heartbreak, depression and for work. One of the things I do is go over old stuff if I have been unable to write for a while.

I've always found life quite difficult to explain to people or to myself.

People gonna be they own individuals and have they own worlds and I can't knock it.

The kids are not brought up to have minds of their own as individuals.
