“Refusal to hope is nothing more than a decision to die.”

Often people become an addict and self destructive. Now the opposite of love is indifference and even worse is rejection and abuse, and I meet those people.

If God came in and said, I want you to be happy for the rest of your life, what would you do?

I wish medical schools helped us to analyze our healthy and unhealthy reasons for becoming doctors.

I cannot guarantee that the orders you place with God will always be filled. Prayer is not a test of God, but a call for help to find your inner strength and talent.

Anything that offers hope has the potential to heal.

Consciousness is non-local and does not depend on words to communicate.

Every time I jog through the world, I am awed by what I find. On a winter morning, when it seems too cold and slippery for safe jogging or bicycling, I can still go out and experience the glory of sunlight turning icy branches into strings of sparkling diamonds.

We are here to feel, wonder and gaze in awe at the world. Instead of just teaching our children how to use things and do things, I suggest we nourish their sense of wonder.

I heard that when I had grown up and had no idea of the whole story because the family album had pictures of a covered carriage and my mother smiling so I assumed I was asleep.

I would never have had if I’d been fool enough to make them do what I thought they should do.

Feel your feelings. What you bring forth will save you.

Having pets in the house helps everyone have a reverence for life.

The other great tonic for the immune system is love—loving ourselves as well as others.

Whenever you get around to doing what you want to do, it will be now. The things you need to do to live a happier, more fulfilling life-the only time you can possible start doing them is now.

Most of us never stop to consider our blessings; rather, we spend the day only thinking about our problems. But since you have to be alive to have problems, be grateful for the opportunity to have them.

Refuse to be afraid that we will no longer be considered attractive and acceptable when we are strong.

Every new Fashion is a refusal to inherit, a subversion against the oppression of the preceding Fashion; Fashion experiences itself as a Right, the natural right of the present over the past.

Until we understand the assumptions in which we are drenched we cannot know ourselves. And this drive to self-knowledge, for women, is more than a search for identity.

It is part of our refusal of the self-destructiveness of male-dominated society.

Grant graciously what you cannot refuse safely and conciliate those you cannot conquer.

Sturdy beggars can bear stout denials.

If a supernatural power tries to make you a saint or an emperor, refuse it, because the greatest beauty of life hides in having no position whatsoever! Positionless is the best position!

I’m so afraid of losing something I love that I refuse to love anything.
