“Exercising leadership is an expression of your aliveness... But when you cover yourself up, you risk losing something as well. In the struggle to save yourself, you can give up too many of those qualities that are the essence of being alive, like innocence, curiosity, and compassion.”

“You express your own divinity by being alive and by loving yourself and others.”

“Don't give up the fight to stay alive and even if you have to, find the reason in another's pain if they lose you. If not for yourself, then those around who care like I do...One day you'll see the clear blue....”

“When you do not understand the language being spoken, you have two options. You can struggle against the isolation, or you can give yourself up to it.”

“Life can be snatched away from you in an instant, but if you don´t give yourself up to love, even with all the risks of losing it, life isn´t worth living.”

“As long as you're alive......you can't put life on hold like you can with a game-so that's why......those brief respites......when you can forget all the bitterness and pain...they let you take a breath......and calm your heart.If you don't give yourself that kind of time......living on just becomes, every so often-it gets to be too painful.”
