“One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu - the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality - Ubuntu - you are known for your generosity. We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole World. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity.” ThinkingWorldHumansWellsCountryWholeFactsHumanityIndividualSpeakHuman BeingsQualityKnownEssenceSpreadConnectedWhole WorldOur CountryGenerosityIsolationBeing HumanUbuntuInterconnectednessYour Generosity Author:Desmond Tutu
“Everything - a bird, a tree, even a simple stone, and certainly a human being - is ultimately unknowable. This is because it has unfathomable depth. All we can perceive, experience, think about, is the surface layer of reality, less than the tip of an iceberg. Underneath the surface appearance, everything is not only connected with everything else, but also with the Source of all life out of which it came. Even a stone, and more easily a flower or a bird, could show you the way back to God, to the Source, to yourself.” ThinkingWayHumansShowsRealityHuman BeingsSimpleTreeFlowerSourceBirdStonesDepthAppearanceConnectedSurfacePerceiveLayersUnfathomableIceberg Book:A New Earth (Oprah #61): Awakening to Your Life's Purpose Source: A New Earth (Oprah #61): Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

“Seeing yourself reflected on screen is a very important part of being human. It makes us feel less alone, it make us feel more connected to humanity. Women, gay men, and trans people for a long time have not seen themselves represented, so being able to show the complexities that we all have - just as complex stories as a heterosexual white male - is crucial for us to feel more human and have other people see us as human beings.” PeopleMenFeelsHumansLongImportantStoriesShowsAbleHumanityHuman BeingsWhiteSeeingGayLong TimeComplexesMalesConnectedScreensComplexityCrucialBeing HumanTransGay MenSeeing Yourself Author:Marielle Heller
“When you're onstage, it's a communication technique when you make people laugh. You're communicating.
