“When the last days comeWe shall see visionsMore vivid than sunsetsBrighter than starsWe will recognize each otherAnd see ourselves for the first timeThe way we really are”

“The way I see it, how can you really say you'll love a person longer than love lasts?”

“When it comes to ourselves, we often have a blind spot. That is, we fail to see ourselves as others see us. We fail to recognize our most obvious traits: our strengths, weaknesses, mannerisms.”

“There is no greater insight into the future than recognizing...when we save our children, we save ourselves”

“I really see no other solution than to turn inwards and to root out all the rottenness there. I no longer believe that we can change anything in the world until we first change ourselves. And that seems to me the only lesson to be learned.”

“...now that I am a mother, I understand what Mother's Day is about: it's about looking through our lives and recognizing the act of mothering everywhere we see it, and more than that, recognizing that when any of us mother-- when we listen, nuture, nourish, protect--we're doing sacred work.”
