“I don't dislike them, nor do I like them. I've never understood why one must love children simply because they are children.

“I don’t divide ordinary life from spiritual life. They are one, they are inseparably one. To separate them is to create a split humanity, a schizophrenic humanity. Life is a unity, an organic unity, indivisible. Nothing is higher and nothing is lower. There is no hierarchy, everything exists simultaneously on the same plane. So nothing has to be renounced, nothing has to be rejected.
Of course everything has to be transformed and transformed through love, transformed through bliss, transformed through joy.”

It happens because children aren't being offered a bright enough future that they have a reason to choose life over death.”

“I don’t even believe that Jesus Christ himself was perfect. To be human IS TO BE imperfect. Ultimately, the difference between an asshole or a benevolent being is the choice of serving by building bridges between yourself and another person. Do you apologize or do you offend? Do you listen or do you ignore? Do you accept or do you defame? I would rather know the truth about an idol — or person — rather than believe in a lie that an IDOL is a walking Christ on earth. No one is perfect.”

“I don't even know her
But I feel a responsibility to do what's upstanding and right
It's kinda like a code, yeah
And you've been getting closer and closer, and crossing so many lines
And it would be a fine proposition
If I was a stupid girl
But honey, I am no-one's exception
This I have previously learned
You understand perfectly
You're the kind of man who makes me sad
While she waits up
You chase down the newest thing and take for granted what you have
And it would be a fine proposition
If I was a stupid girl
And yeah, I might go with it
If I hadn't once been just like her
Don't look at me
You've got a girl at home
And everybody knows that
Everybody knows that
Don't look at me.”

“I don’t even know how many times I was betrayed… What I do know is how every betrayal affected me. And yet I still chose to trust others. I didn’t change, I didn’t shut down, I didn’t become cold. Maybe that makes me soft, maybe that makes me brave… but this is who I am. A person who gets hurt, but still believes. A person who breaks, but still chooses to bounce back.”
