“There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.”

“Rejoice for we are all one under the sun. There are no racial barriers or cultural differences for we are all the same within humanity. The only thing that separates humanity is land for consciousness stretches across the universe, connecting all of humanity through the mind and spirit.”

“But perhaps the most important lesson I learned is that there are no walls between humans and the elephants except those that we put up ourselves, and that until we allow not only elephants, but all living creatures their place in the sun, we can never be whole ourselves.”

“The human mind is always making progress, but it is a progress in spirals.”

“This is how humans are: We question all our beliefs, except for the ones that we really believe in, and those we never think to question.”

“This is the gift of humanity: that it is claimed by the self. None of us...are human unless and until we claim it for ourselves. But nothing can stop that claiming - not the eight million gods nor the spirits nor ghosts. Nothing but ourselves, anyway.And our lives become the poems we were born to tell.”
