"If you surrender to the wind, you can ride it""All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was""At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough""Make a difference about something other than yourselves""You are your best thing""In this country American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate""Love is or it ain't. Thin love ain't love at all""Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another""Definitions belong to the definers, not the defined""You wanna fly, you got to give up the thing that weighs you down""The function of freedom is to free someone else""If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it"
