Love

The most traditionally successful people I know were divorced and they told me sacrificing their families wasn't worth it. Hold your children up high as your greatest inventions because they are.

Hold your children up high as your greatest inventions because they are. I invented something many of you use every day and it doesn't compare to any day with a happy, healthy child.

You are my other self. We are one. I am another yourself. The Mayans just had a more beautiful way of saying we're all in this together.

We are all much more similar than we are different. We're all just looking for food, and love, and meaning.

There is always something left to love.

Nothing productive rises out of hate.

When big decisions pop up, get quiet, real quiet and listen. Turn off your phone, turn off your computer and listen to your true heart. Hear the thing that makes you feel sick with excitement and scares you because you know you will learn — and do that thing.

And did you get what you wanted out of life, even so? I did. And what did you want? To call myself beloved. To feel beloved on the earth.

Love is not like mass or energy — it is not conserved.

You must be weak before the world, because love and listening weaken you. They make you vulnerable. They break you open.

Conversations about grass length and the weather are really conversations about how we are going to get through, and how we are going to get through together.

Hold on to your old friends. Kiss your Mama. Admit what your dreams are. Don't beat yourself up if you don't know what you're gonna do tomorrow. But work hard and don't be lazy.
