“You do not try to control any one but you can empower someone.”
“If you are trying to transform a brutalized society into one where people can live in dignity and hope, you begin with the empowering of the most powerless. You build from the ground up.”
“Preparing for death is one of the most empowering things you can do. Thinking about death clarifies your life.”
“That's what life is. One problem after another. You can't control any of it. All you can do is reach out for something good whenever you can. And hold on no matter what.”
“You tried. That was all you could do. All any of us can do....”
“Fear is about things that you can't control. The future or the dark, or someone trying to kill you. You don't get scared of yourself because you always know what you're going to do.”
