Everything I do stems from something personal, not just because it will look good on paper or be a tax write-off.

My wish for us all is to love and adore ourselves just as much as we do everyone else!

The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let things go.

I constantly ask myself if what I’m doing is for me or somebody else. It’s tripping me out!

Love is real, love is pure, you only take what you give and give what you take. At its purest it is real. No pretending.

I believe in the limitlessness of humans. We’re capable of incredible things. At times that realization is frightening.

Nothing is more difficult, in my opinion, than to avoid something that fundamentally attracts you.

The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do.

The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.

Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.

There’s no limit to the things you can do.

Everybody should have the opportunity to do and be everything they can be.

The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession but carrying a banner.

Loving smart means believing in you, your worth and your value.

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics.

When we are through, we shall have reproduced American life as lived; and that, I think is the best way of preserving at least a part of our history and tradition.

People will try to fix world but world will fix people.

You can’t put feathers on a dog and call it a chicken!
