“Because while you wait for somebody to come around to make things right, life has already moved on without you.”

“Because sometimes love just needs a witness... Somebody to testify. Sometimes love just needed somebody to step forward and say, Here I am, Spirit. Send me.”

“Please! Don't all leave. Somebody has to do it, don't you see? Somebody has to save the world...”

“Communication goes two ways. Somebody has to talk. And somebody has to listen.”

“Child, when do you think is the time to love somebody the most? When they done good and made things easy for everybody? Well then, you ain't through learning-because that ain't the time at all...when you starts measuring somebody, measure him right, child, measure him right. Make sure you done taken into account what hills and valleys he come through before he got to wherever he is.”
