"Even if everybody is looking at the same light bulb, the unique composition of an individual will dictate how they interpret and see things. Some people will only see things with their left eye (mind/moon), while others will use only their right (heart/sun). Some people are completely void of light and repel it immediately. For instance, a beetle will chase after an opening of light, while a cockroach will scatter at a crack of it. How are we different than the insects? Nobody is purely good or purely evil. Most of us are in-between. There are moths that explore the day and butterflies that play at night. Polarity is an integral part of nature - human or not human."
"It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place."
"Don't allow your imagination to colour events as lesser men would, and see movement in motionless things."
"For us, a pretty bird is a pretty bird; for an insect, pretty bird is an ugly enemy!"
"Appearance matters, we see your presentation before we get a chance to sample the substance within. You might miss a chance for the latter."
"You don't need to look at the beauty to feel the love."
"That was the problem with the outside world, the human world. The whole thing was made up puzzles, of a language she didn't quite speak."

"And by knowing what we fear, don't we know what we care about, how we are measuring our worth, what success looks like?" I asked. So isn't fear helpful, then?"
"Generosity has little to do with giving gifts, and everything to do with giving space to others to be who they are."
"Instead of a book, what if we're actually writing (or not writing) in the margins of our lives? What if our lives are books? What is the sign of our presence? Are we pressing into the margins our interpretations and questions? Are we circling offending verbs and drawing furious arrows to the margin where we scrawl "irony," "frustration," "voiceless," "unfair!" Or do we simply turn the pages, passively receiving what's given, furiously disagreeing but remaining silent about it?"
"Create inclusion - with simple mindfulness that others might have a different reality from your own."
