I believe that the privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

I found my place when I stopped looking for it.

Attention is a moral act: It creates, brings aspects of things into being.

Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play.

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

The world is like a Mask dancing. If you want to see it well, you do not stand in one place.

Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

If you need something from somebody, always give that person a way to hand it to you.

The heart is not like a box that gets filled up; it expands in size the more you love.

One shouldn't just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.

It’s the artists who do the dreaming for society.
