“To know how other people behave takes intelligence, but to know myself takes wisdom. To manage other people's lives takes strength, but to manage my own life takes true power.

If I am at peace with myself, I will not spend my life force in conflicts. If I have learned to let go, I do not need to fear dying.”

“As an activist, you do find yourself directed more toward public action. But I've always tried to use stories from my own life in my writing for instance.

So, if we've shared many experiences, then it probably has something to do with power or politics, and if we unify and act together, then we can make a change.”
