“We can do things that are greater than ourselves. If you believe nothing exists beyond a certain boundary, then you will never test the veracity of that belief and you will never discover new possibilities....Maybe there are truly extraordinary people out there, but I'm not one of them. The most extraordinary acts are accomplished by ordinary people doing something a little extra and stepping ouiside their personal comfort zone....I often wonder how much human potential lies unrealized and untapped, how much we are limited by our own fears as well as by social, cultural, religious, and self-imposed limitations. If we can break through those, how far might we go as individuals, as a species?”
― Juliana Buhring, This Road I Ride: Sometimes It Takes Losing Everything to Find Yourself

“The more people I have met from different backgrounds and cultures, and the more I have listened to them speak about the things that are important to them, the more I realize that while we may differ in some of the details, we are all fundamentally connected. We are all here, just trying to figure it out, trying to find a purpose, in pursuit of happiness. Yet instead of focusing on our commonalities, we look at our differences. We segregate, we judge, we assume. We live in a world of "us and them." We are riddled with prejudices and moral superiority, separated by religion, race, belief, color, social status, wealth, poverty.”
