+ Most people just get older, and they find parking
spaces, honor their credit cards, choose personal
preferences in drink, have the nerve to get married
and have children, and they call that growing
up. That's not. That's getting older.
+ When we come to it
We must confess that we are the possible
We are the miraculous, the true wonders of this
world
That is when, and only when
We come to it.
+ Growing up is admitting that there are demons
you cannot overcome.
+ Courage is the most important of all the virtues,
because without courage you can't practice any
other virtue consistently. You can practice any
virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without
courage.
+ If we are bold, love strikes away the chains
of fear from our souls.
+ Love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
+ I mean, probably the only true escape is death,
but even that is that undiscovered country from
whose bond, you know, no traveler returns
+ I know what the caged bird feels
I know why the caged bird beats his wing
till its blood is red on the cruel bars,
for he must fly back to his perch and cling
when he fain would be on the bow aswing.
+ We have got to start loving life and the living.
We have to respect that thing which we cannot
create, which is life and stop taking it from
people and stop taking it from things. Stop taking
it. We can't make it. We can't reproduce one single
person.
