“We are losing people! No, not for fear of guns, not for fear of terror or anything else, we are losing people for lack of love! আমরা মানুষকে হারাচ্ছি! না, বন্দুকের ভয়, সন্ত্রাসের ভয় বা অন্য কোন কিছুর ভয়ে নয়, আমরা ভালোবাসার অভাবে মানুষ হারাচ্ছি!”

“Si miras a lo mas profundo de tu ser, encontrarás un deseo que nada en este mundo puede satisfacer, el deseo de ser totalmente conocido (a) y totalmente aceptado (a). Es un hambre insaciable por experimentar el máximo nivel de cercanía e intimidad, el indescriptible gozo de conocer y ser conocido (a).”

“What you deeply resent in another, is actually a reflection of what you wish you had or what you wish you could be. Resentful of how another speaks her mind? Because you were silenced and therefore fell silent. Resentful of how another wears (or doesn't wear) whatever she wants? Because you are controlled by your own ideas of morality and societal expectations. Resentful of how another's life is not constructed to pander and please others? Because you are bound by the cruel chains of people-pleasing, you don't know how to break out of. What you resent in others is what you actually wish you could be.”

“No me digas que la naturaleza no es un milagro. No me digas que el mundo no es un maravilloso cuento. Quien no lo haya entendido, tal vez no lo haga hasta el momento en que el cuento esté a punto de acabar. Pues es cuando te dan la última oportunidad de quitarte las anteojeras, una última ocasión de frotarte los ojos de asombro, una última ocasión de entregarte a este milagro del que ahora te despides y al que vas a abandonar.”

“One time on an island I swam in a green lagoon and saw through the clearness of the water the simple fact of my limbs. I watched the purple, red, and blue fish moving around my body and I paddled to keep myself afloat for a long time. Afterward, I lay down on the sand and concentrated on the warming my kneecaps and my shoulders. I can count moments like that on my hands. My dream is for you to have many such moments, so many that you notice only the times you slip into your own brain and recognize those instances for the traps that they are.”
