"The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words."
"I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain
nothing."
"A true friend is the most precious of all possessions and the one we take the least thought about acquiring."
"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."
"We all need friends with whom we can speak of our deepest concerns, and who do not fear to speak the truth in love to us."
"You have to be practical, bite the bullet as you say. When somebody tells you your d***'s going to fall off, this is going to happen whether you like it or not. Life will be a bitch, but you have to figure out how you're gonna live it. Life is all hills and valleys. You better be enjoying the hills. There's no point weeping and crying in the valleys."
"You take you with you everywhere you go. You can't run from yourself."
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace!"
"A true revolutionary understands that loving one enemy is more revolutionary then killing a thousand enemies"
"At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality."
"Love is not an intellectual concept or a moral imperative or anything else. It is a background emotion that exists when one is connected to the energy available in the universe, which, of course is the energy of God."
"All religion is about humankind finding relationship to one higher source. And all religions speak of a perception of a God within, a perception that fills us, makes us more than we are. Religions become corrupted when leaders are assigned to explain Gods will to the people instead of showing them how to find this direction within themselves."
"If you're going through hell....keep going."
"Let people define who they are by what they do."
