That powers my desire to write: the sense of how quickly everything on the surface of life can be cut away and you can suddenly be inside the most inner part of the most inner life of a person. What does it feel like there, and what are the regrets a...
The real Muslim is the one who prefers speaking the truth even when it is ruinous to him over lying even when it benefits him, and who finds inner peace in doing so.
The artist must be blind to "recognized" and "unrecognized" form, deaf to the teachings and desires of his time. His open eyes must be directed to his inner life and his ears must be constantly attuned to the voice of inner necessity.
I want to be able to experience everything. I want to experience being a husband, experience being a father, experience, maybe, hopefully, someday being a grandfather, and all those things. I want that experience. When I die, I want to be exhausted.
One thing I really hate is experience. Experience for me doesn't work. Everybody's talking about experience this, experience that.
Why is it that so many people start to value money so much that they trade in most of the hours and years of their life in order to get it?
I thought I should make a place to bring light down into this world. All things that become realities start in that place of someone imagining them.
It's time to launch yourself into that bigger life using your full capacities and with the light of our spirit shining brightly.
I believe that God gives you hopes and dreams in a size that's too large, so you have something to grow into.

…I keep looking for one more teacher, only to find that fish learn from the water and birds learn from the sky.” (p.275)
A con artist, a total imposter, had played on my desires for the Cinderella dream and won a Monopoly trip to jail. I had hoped for uprightness, integrity, and potentially a relationship. Longing overshadowed the voice of conscience.
If you don't read, I don't know how to communicate with you...I can never express who I am in my own words as powerfully as my books can.
I never want a girl to lose all hope that her life can’t completely turn around, even if she feels that she is at the edge, standing on one foot, and ready to say goodbye.
Finding yourself and creating a life that feels authentic and safe is the hardest, most important work that we will ever do and for girls, especially young girls, there is no one more equipped to do this work.
Despite how lonely or broken down you might feel, we need you with us helping to make the world better, kinder and safer, especially for the little girls coming up.
