When there's that forgiveness present and compassion, it just helps you live so much easier.

It is not a dreamlike state, but the somehow insulated state, that a great musician achieves in a great performance. He's aware of where he is and what he's doing, but his mind is on the playing of the instrument with an internal sense of rightness -- it is not merely mechanical, it is not only spiritual; it is something of both, on a different plane and a more remote one.

With reasonable men, I will reason with humane men I will plead but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.

William Lloyd Garrison

To live in joy and fully manifest our true potential, we must let go of our desires and attachment to the past and the future and be excited about living in the unknown.

Eliza Mada Dalian

Boy bands should be exploded from a great height. They're just pretty people singing music written by others.

Eddie Izzard

Happiness is your own treasure because it lies within you.

Prem Rawat

He who shall introduce into public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face of the world.

Benjamin Franklin
