There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.

Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance.

The power of imagination makes us infinite.

I have looked into your eyes with my eyes. I have put my heart near your heart.
