“Refugees are here because they have no choice. They also bring enormous gifts and talents, as Tung did. They just need an opportunity. I hope our story inspires others to understand that people from different backgrounds can find common ground if we just listen to each other. We can all be bigger than our individual selves. We all have tremendous power to change the lives of others and help the world become more mixed and accepting ... Everyone can get to know people who are different than they are. Everyone can help where they see a need. We all have stories to tell, and the best thing we can do for ourselves and the world is to listen to each other.”

“Brave, The Sonnet Say o brave, o soldier of eternal heights, May I be decapitated before my head bows. Say o brave, o explorer of impossibility, May I feed another while my stomach growls. Say o brave, o pedestrian of purity, I obey no law for I'm the epitome of rightness. Say o brave, o athlete of amor and amity, I am sheer insanity exuding real saneness. Say o brave, o bearer of benevolence, I am disaster, blaster and master of destiny. Say o brave, o vessel of valiance, I devour fear, greed, pride and insecurity. Say o brave, I am the seed of all assimilation, The first one standing, earthquakin' egalitarian.”

“If we see that we don’t get to control our thinking, that we don’t choose what thoughts pop up in a split second, then we will feel a full range of emotions and there is nothing to do about it. Often trying to do something about a feeling we have reinforces it rather than allowing it to pass naturally.”

“Guilt simply cannot tell me whether I am a good person or a bad person. There is no chart on which I can check the amount of guilt I’m feeling and see how it corresponds to my “goodness” or otherwise. Guilt is a reflection of my thinking about a certain action or behavior I have taken, or not taken, in the past. Guilt does not and cannot change the past. It often doesn’t even stop a person from taking the same action again in similar circumstances.”
