"love is what we are born with. fear is what we learn. the spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. to be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. meaning does not lie in things. meaning lies in us."

"when you see what you're here for, the world begins to mirror your purpose in a magical way. it's almost as if you suddenly find yourself on a stage in a play that was written expressly for you."

"here's to the crazy ones.
the misfits.
the rebels.
the troublemakers.
the round pegs in the square holes.
the ones who see things differently.
they're not fond of rules.
and they have no respect for the status quo.
you can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
about the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
because they change things.
they invent. they imagine. they heal.
they explore. they create. they inspire.
they push the human race forward.
maybe they have to be crazy.
how else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written?
or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
we make tools for these kinds of people.
while some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do."
