“Hate is loud, but I think you'll learn it's because it's only a few people shouting, desperate to be heard. You might not ever be able to change their minds, but so long as your remember you're not alone, you will overcome.”

“An authentic life is a different sort of life. Unrehearsed behaviors lead to spontaneous interactions. A day spent with no expectations leads to unexpected wonders. A simple moment becomes an infinite moment, carrying with it the implications of total power.”

“From the Buddhists' perspective, we suffer because we are fighting an impossible fight against the truth, pushing against reality to make it something other than what it is.”

“Let's say that we all inherently have love inside us. We don't need to be given anything to feel it; it just resides in us at our most basic level. Furthermore, this inherent love can never be taken from us.”

“I am but paper. Brittle and thin. I am held up to the sun, and it shines right through me. I get written on, and I can never be used again. These scratches are a history. They’re a story. They tell things for others to read, but they only see the words, and not what the words are written upon. I am but paper, and though there are many like me, none are exactly the same. I am parched parchment. I have lines. I have holes. Get me wet, and I melt. Light me on fire, and I burn. Take me in hardened hands, and I crumple. I tear. I am but paper. Brittle and thin.”
