“My life is not unlike Truman’s. I can’t go anywhere.”

Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they’re eating sandwiches.

For the most sensitive among us, the noise can be too much.

We had problems like all families but we had a lot of love. I was extremely loved. We always felt we had each other.

I love playing ego and insecurity combined.

Originality is really important.

Flowers don’t worry about how they’re going to bloom. They just open up & turn toward the light & that makes them beautiful.

Compassion is the currency that leads to true wealth.

I’ve always believed that you can funnel good things toward yourself by thinking positiviely.

I would like to be known as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people.

True religion has, at its core: Love, Peace, Mercy, Justice and Freedom. If any of these elements is not fully present in a religion, the religion has been compromised.

Freedom is not free.

I think that the sweetest freedom for a man on earth consists in being able to live, if he likes, without having the need to work.

We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.

I’m like a child who belongs to nobody.

The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.
