“People do not always take responsibility for their own spirituality and their own spiritual relationship with God.” Quote by Echo Bodine
“We think we have to prove our allegiance to God by being poor. Many years ago, my own psychic development teacher taught me that to be on a spiritual path meant that you needed to be poor, because that was proving your allegiance to God. So growing up with that kind of teaching from her was a real struggle for me, also.” ThinkingYearsKindRealSpiritualMy OwnPoorStruggleGrowing UpPathTeacherGrowingTeachingTaughtDevelopmentNeededProveYears AgoPsychicsAllegianceSpiritual Path Author:Echo Bodine

“Every passing year brings us more past futures. Here in Europe they had a Dark Age so extensive, radical and obliterative that everyone forgot how to speak Latin. It's counterproductive to blither on about "the" future.

“The future is a process, not a destination. Richard Stallman is a guy my age. I sympathize with Richard rather more than I sympathize with Richard's open-source ideas, but the guy's a mortal human being and so is his social movement.

“Roger Ebert was such a champion of underrepresented filmmakers. He was a very big deal to me. It shows the power of critics. People who write about film, like you, can really affect the confidence of a young filmmaker.

“There's never been a film with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the center released in theaters. Ever! One does not exist. You've only seen tele-films and stage plays about him. Yet, we have big screens biopics about all kinds of people. So, I think it's only right that there be a full-length feature about Dr. King. I don't think there could be enough of them, but there should be at least one. So, here it is!” PeopleThinkingShouldKindDoeEnoughPlayBigsFilmStageKingsTheaterScreensAll KindsFeaturesLengthDrsLutherBig ScreenDr Martin Luther KingStage Play Author:Ava DuVernay
“Ignore the glass ceiling and do your work. If you're focusing on the glass ceiling, focusing on what you don't have, focusing on the limitations, then you will be limited.

“Even when I went to America I didn't work for four years. It wasn't like I came to New York and it was the land of milk and honey. It was just as much of a hard graft.
