Stories can conquer fear, you know. They can make the heart bigger.

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

This is what you must be like. Grow wherever life puts you down.

The law is simple. Every experience is repeated or suffered till you experience it properly and fully the first time.

We can redream this world and make the dream come real. Human beings are gods hidden from themselves. 

One human life is deeper than the ocean. Strange fishes and sea-monsters and mighty plants live in the rock-bed of our spirits. The whole of human history is an undiscovered continent deep in our souls. There are dolphins, plants that dream, magic birds inside us. The sky is inside us. The earth is in us.
