“Toni Morrison said, "The function of freedom is to free someone else," and if you are no longer wracked or in bondage to a person or a way of life, tell your story. Risk freeing someone else.

“People who develop the habit of thinking of themselves as world citizens are fulfilling the first requirement of sanity in our time.”
