"I think we have to be careful about what we label as a prerequisite for spirituality. I don't think you have to know a lot to have a spiritual life, but knowing gives life richness."

Life

Quote_1.png
Olympia Dukakis
"The rest of us are still trying to find ways to live in the world with spirit-ual values. Myself included. We've learned certain skills, we've learned to prevail somewhat, but we've not made it over the mountain."

Values

Quote_1.png
Olympia Dukakis

People

Olympia Dukakis

Love

Quote_1.png
Olympia Dukakis
"I sometimes truly despair at ever being meaningfully altered and affected by the things I claim are so important to me."

Being

Quote_1.png
Olympia Dukakis
"So I constantly play women who are damaged and out of touch, who are seeking without knowing, or knowing without the skills to transform their lives. But then, that's really the fate of many women today."

Woman

Olympia Dukakis
"I talk to women's groups all over the country and see women struggling with this. The fear of not being accepted, of being different, of not having a man, all make it hard for a woman to do what she really believes is right for her."
