QUOTES

"I looked at the problems of the world and said 'I can do something.' I was lucky that I found this out at the age of 18...I could really devote my life to doing something about the problems, and use the joy of creativity that can come from such a passion."

"We need each other, deeper than anyone ever dares to admit even to themselves. I think it is a genetic imperative that we huddle together and hold on to each other. There is no question in my mind that there is nothing else in life, really, than friendship."

"Planets explode; galaxies implode. We are an insignificant flake, except as we are alive and experiencing ourselves in life. And for that I say please devote your life to making a better world. Don't waste one day!"

"I'd say that I think the most revolutionary act that you can commit in our society today is to be happy."

"If you want to change the world, then be your own focus for a celebration of life. Really, fundamentally, at the very core of your being, be thankful you are alive, that you've got this opportunity, with these molecules, at this moment. Be thankful! Be a celebrant! Be thankful that you are alive and then look around to see who else is at the party!"

" I want to live in a world where people become famous because of their work for peace and justice and care. I want the famous to be inspiring; their lives an example of what every human being has it in them to do — act from love!"

"Please give your life to peace, justice and care."
