"Never presume to know a person based on the one dimensional window of the internet. A soul can't be defined by critics, enemies or broken ties with family or friends. Neither can it be explained by posts or blogs that lack facial expressions, tone or insight into the person's personality and intent. Until people "get that", we will forever be a society that thinks Beautiful Mind was a spy movie and every stranger is really a friend on Facebook."

"I no longer follow the voices of the sane. I follow the ill because they see farther, feel much more and change what the sane will not. This is the paradox of philosophers---trying to understand mass delusion among great people that have faith and knowledge, yet they can't graduate from their institutions of religious theology to apply the knowledge they have gained for the shifting of Zion---- from words to action; from comfort to uncomfortable; from self serving to self giving; from competition to supporting; to tradition to unity; from bias to acceptance; from me to us."

Wisdom

"Living a life somewhere else in your mind is nothing more than being a prisoner where you are."

Life

"Truth and facts are woven together. However, sometimes facts can blind you from seeing what is actually going on in someone's life."

Life

"If I could be anything in this world I would be rare. So rare that the people I loved never forgot me or ever found anything to compare me to. I was never a type, but the only type--the person you couldn't throw away because you would never be able to describe the mystery of something that didn't fit this world."
