"The earth is for joy, and dancing is a big part of that. And you dance with nature. Nature is always dancing. If you're not harassing it and killing it and mutilating it, nature is dancing. That's what the leaves are doing when the wind blows through them. We live in a magical wonderful universe. And just spoil it while thinking we can at some point go to heaven or some other planet."

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any."
"No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow."
"Look closely at the present you are constructing: it should look like the future you are dreaming."
"Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul."

We remember them because it is an easy thing to forget: that we are not the first to suffer, rebel, fight, love and die. The grace with which we embrace life, in spite of the pain, the sorrow, is always a measure of what has gone before."
