You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view … until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.
Home isn't where you land; home is where you launch. You can't pick your home any more than you can choose your family.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserve and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists ... it is real ... it is possible ... it's yours.

There is always something left to love.
With freedom, books, flowers and the moon, who could not be happy?
If you want to bring the world closer to peace, be a peacemaker by creating peace whenever you can. If you find yourself engaged in an argument that only stirs anger in the heart, quickly make peace and carry on.
