“People who want to hate you can find something in you they don't like. They have a talent for doing that.”

“You know, people don't want their intelligence insulted. They don't want to be preached to. They don't want to be degraded. All they want to do is sit, laugh, have a good time, love one another, forget about what's going on in the world, and find something out so they can be useful in this life. Do this and you have common sense.”

“If you want to complain you don't have to look long: in most anything you can find something wrong. But if you want to ignite your inner light, try to find in everything something right.”

“You have something you want to do. Something you like to do. Something you're good at. Why don't we start with that? Why don't you let that be the entire plan for now?”

“Is this what it's like to get close to other people--you do something insane together and then you have to share everything even if you don't really want to?”

“If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.”
