“My heart is mysteriously alive in the world of sounds – a totally different dimension from the daily life.”

I’m still dreaming. Dreaming is a more powerful way to think.

It’s time for action. Action is peace.

We all live in the valley of fear looking up the sky giving us hope.

Look at yourself in the mirror and don’t be afraid to notice how beautiful you are.

The cynicism that you have is not your real soul.

Art is my life and my life is art.

Whisper your dream to a cloud. Ask the cloud to remember it.

I thought art was a verb, rather than a noun.

Words are power. And a book is full of words. Be careful what power you get from it. But know that you do.

Change is not always bad.

What we do really affects the world. Most of us think we can’t do anything, but it really isn’t true.

How anyone could think of making money by fracking our planet, making this beautiful water dirty.

Each time we don’t say what we wanna say, we’re dying.

When you go to war, both sides lose totally.

Love is what it takes to fly.

People think that their world will get smaller as they get older. My experience is just the opposite. Your senses become more acute. You start to blossom.

I enjoy different designers for different seasons and what they bring to it each and every season.

It never occurred to me that some people were seen as wrong or even different.

I travel in so many different ways; I travel high, I rough it, it all depends on who I travel with.

Everybody was on the same page. Nobody has really gone out there on a different musical journey. When we got back together again, we all wanted to do the same kind of music.

This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different.

I never set out to write a book to change women’s lives, to change history. It’s like, ‘Who, me?’ Yes, me. I did it. And I’m not that different from other women. Maybe my power and glory was that I could speak my truth as a woman and it was the truth of every woman.

That’s what Tupac and I got from my dad – the rebellion and the need to fight back and be recognized for being different.

Animals don’t even try to look any different from what nature intended. They humbly wear their shells, scales, spines, plumes, pelts, and down. The conscious impulse to change one’s appearance is found only among humans.
