"Since you are like no other being ever created since the beginning of time, you are incomparable."
"Everybody is talented, original, and has something important to say."

"Why should we all use our creative power? Because there is nothing that makes people so generous, joyful, lively, bold and compassionate, so indifferent to fighting and the accumulation of objects and money."
