“I want to take all the pain that I feel and celebrate and turn it around.”

This is like one thing that I’ve tried to do, and I think successfully, that when you realize that nothing really belongs to you, you begin to appreciate having an understanding of just where your head is at, and you feel so much better.

Fear’s what puts dreams to sleep.

For the most part, I feel really comfortable with what I’ve given to the people. I want to give it to them again.

It feels better to love than to hate.

We all have hearts. If you have a heart, love somebody. If you have enough heart, love everybody.

The power has to be in your desire to see everyone thrive.

I know that there’ll be a continuation of making the world more accessible for people with disabilities.

The most important thing is, when I do give the music, I’m satisfied with it, that it speaks for what I want to do.

The Lord that I serve says the impossible is unacceptable.

Of all the needs that we have right now, more than anything we need a time for love.

God gave me life to continue to do things that I would never have done.

You can’t base your life on other people’s expectations.

Why has there never been a holiday where peace is celebrated all throughout the world?

There are a lot of things happening that show us that this, right now, is a time to love.

When I was a child, kids used to make fun of me because I was blind. But I just became more curious, ‘How can I climb this tree and get an apple for this girl?’ That’s what mattered to me.

Do you know, it’s funny, but I never thought of being blind as a disadvantage, and I never thought of being black as a disadvantage.

Live your life not celebrating victories but overcoming defeats.

The whole aspect of cinema and film festivals should be a moment to come together and celebrate art and humanity. It would be a shame if there was such a divide.

Celebrate your strength. You’ve come so far in your practice and have survived 100% of your bad days⁠.

Enjoy every little struggle of life and celebrate the progress.

No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.

You need to take a break and celebrate your success no matter how small it may seem.

If you find success in a different path at a different rate, celebrate and don’t ever doubt yourself.

We will all profit from a more diverse, inclusive society, understanding, accommodating, even celebrating our differences, while pulling together for the common good.
