“I had so much to learn back then. I thought that being a man meant putting yourself first and bullying others into following you, no matter what the cost. Now I understand that being a man means taking responsibility, and taking charge as a leader, so that others will follow you of their own volition. --Mars from The Little Light”
― Dipa Sanatani, The Little Light

“Life has a way of talking to the future. It’s called memory. It’s called genes.”
― Richard Powers, The Overstory

“Unfortunately, many souls do not step up to their soul task. After all, once the soul inhabits a human body it grows fearful of the unknown. Instead of embracing its true purpose, the soul runs from its own destiny, thinking that if it avoids it long enough those longings, those yearnings will just disappear. Some souls slip further and further into the abyss until they have nowhere left to go.”
― Dipa Sanatani, The Little Light
