“Peace is not something you wish for; It’s something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away.”

Violence begets violence, you know. And you can’t kill off all the violent people or all the murderers. We’d have to kill off the government.

Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things other people didn’t see.

What we’ve got to do is keep hope alive. Because without it we’ll sink.

I wouldn’t say I was a born writer; I’m a born thinker.

Love is the Answer. What was the Question?

When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.

The people have the power. All we have to do is awaken the power in the people.

Instant Karma is going to get you.

Always remember this: ‘A kiss will never miss, and after many kisses a miss becomes a misses.’

I cannot be what I am not.

Everyone deserves to believe they are beautiful.

If there is such a thing as a genius, I am one, and if there isn’t I don’t care.

Get back to where you once belonged.

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

Make love to me in jazz, and then kiss all my blues away.

Nothing is forever, the pain goes away.

The past is only going to cause you more pain. Stay away from it.

Walking away from someone that you believe you love, despite them being an unhealthy match for you, is one of the hardest things to do.

Stay away from people you make you realize you’re hard to love.

Hold my hand, let’s fly away together.

No matter what happens, no matter how far you seem to be away from where you want to be, never stop believing that you will somehow make it.

You are one decision away from everything you want to achieve.
