“People tend to feel happy when spring arrives, especially after a cold winter. When spring begins, however, cannot be pinpointed to one particular moment. There is no one day that clearly marks when winter ends and spring begins. Spring hides inside winter. We notice it emerging with our eyes, our skin and other senses. We find it in new buds, a comfortable breeze and the warmth of the sun. It exists alongside winter.”

“People tend to judge others by their experience with life. People tend to judge others by their experience with love. People tend to judge others by their experience with pain. People tend to judge others by their experience with trust. I often laugh at false judgement. I’m usually laughing because you don’t know that your false judgments just hold a mirror to you. Your doubt lets me know what you’ve never seen and your comparisons lets me know what you’ve been through. I think that judgement comes when a person doesn’t understand the psychology of reasoning behind another person’s actions. A man or woman who has walked in many shoes has the ability to overstand an action, but disagree without judgement because of this overstanding.”

“People tend to mistake reading and writing with living passively. Words are actions. Language ignites thoughts and channels emotions. Each sentence written by a literary master is an act of rebellion against the intolerable inadequacies and the outrageous injustices of life. Contemplative reading and writing creates channels of empathy and decreases our sense of aloneness. Many liberating social movements trace their origins back to a heart-wrenching piece of literature.”

“People tend to put entertainers on pedestals. We're human beings, just like you. You may see us smiling, and whether we have money or not, we still have bills to pay, we still have our stresses. I think a lot of people want to focus on others' shortcomings to make themselves feel better. And it's a very sad thing.”
