“I do not know much about this man [Jesus], but I do know that his whole life conveys one message: 'anyone at any moment can start a new future.”

“The future is not a scenario written, which we only have to act out; it is a work which we have to create.”

“هكذا يخرب كل من البنك الدولي، وصندوق النقد الدولي نصف الكرة الأرضية الجنوبي منذ عشرين عاما، من الأرجنتين إلى تنزانيا، ومن باكستان إلى الفلبين، وبدءوا الآن في تطبيق نفس الأسلوب في دول الشرق.”

“All I know, lying in this bed or not lying here, is that this is the life that was given to me. The life that throbs along through any and all of my moments: this is it! If ever I wonder what my life was meant to look like, I have only to look around me. This, whatever I am doing or not doing, is what it is. This, right here, is as good as it gets! Your "one wild and precious life," as Mary Oliver says. And when you follow its movement, without trying to direct it with preconceived plans for the future, your life will lead you where you need to go. When you trust it, your body, rather than your mind, will walk you through the life you are meant to be living, whatever it may be.”

“First, a man may in some ways be superior to his fellows and still serve them, if together they serve a common cause which is greater than any one man. I believe that I serve such a cause, or I would not be doing it.”

“It would be nice if there were some one thing constant and unchanging in the universe. If there is such a thing, then it is a thing which would have to be stronger than love, and it is a thing which I do not know.”

“Start. Don’t look back. If at the end it doesn’t meet your hopes, start again. Now you know more about your hopes.”
