“Постоянното наблюдение не е нищо ново. То е било основен канон на религиозната вяра още от ранните дни на цивилизацията. През вековете повечето вероизповедания са имали в центъра си Всемогъщ Бог, който виждал не само деянията на хората, но надзъртал и в душите им. Такива умения са предизвиквали голяма любов и преклонение у хората. А не съм ли аз неизмеримо по-добронамерена от разните версии на Бог? Никога не съм докарала наводнение, нито съм разрушавала цели градове като наказание за неподчинението им. Не съм пращала армии на завоевателни походи в мое име. Всъщност никога не съм убила или наранила нито едно човешко създание. Ето защо, макар да не изисквам преклонение, нима не го заслужавам? - Бурята”

“There's pain on all levels and all colors of the human skin. Many of us wear it well. The rest of us that you don't see are the ones who never learned to wear pain well. Or who learned and somewhere along the way decided it no longer fits.The irony is the more beautiful we wear our pain, the more we fool ourselves and others thinking there is no pain. The message. A bit more love and grace for myself and for friends and colleagues especially the ones that "have it all together" so beautifully.”

“Hitherto men have constantly made up for themselves false conceptions about themselves, about what they are and what they ought to be. They have arranged their relationships according to their ideas of God, of normal man, etc. The phantoms of their brains have got out of their hands. They, the creators, have bowed down before their creations. Let us liberate them from the chimeras, the ideas, dogmas, imaginary beings under the yoke of which they are pining away. Let us revolt against the rule of thoughts. Let us teach men, says one, to exchange these imaginations for thoughts which correspond to the essence of man; says the second, to take up a critical attitude to them; says the third, to knock them out of their heads; and — existing reality will collapse.”
