“...if we aren't learning something from a new experience, it's usually because we aren't paying attention. Or we're following the wrong libretto.”
“If you aren't outraged, then you just aren't paying attention”
“We aren't in high school. We aren't really in our families and we aren't in our houses. Those are the places we grew up and the times we spent together, but they aren't us.

“If you believe in coincidence, then you aren't paying attention.”
“If you aren't just a little depressed, then you aren't paying very much attention to what's going on in the world.”
“We're all born lost, aren't we? We're all born separated from God - over and over life makes sure to inform us of this - and yet we're all real: we have names, we have lives. We mean something. We must. ”
