We are material beings for but a moment in time, but we are spiritual beings forever.

The present moment, if you think about it, is the only time there is. No matter what time it is, it is always now.

I've known Dennis Kucinich for a long time, and I don't think I have illusions about him. Sometimes I find him pompous, male chauvinistic, intellectually unbending. But he is a good man, and a serious one.

Martin Luther King said it was time to inject a new dimension of love into the veins of human civilization. I don't think anyone is calling Martin Luther King a New Age woo-woo.

To me, when I think of New Age, I think of crystals and rainbows and platitudes.

You label somebody 'New Age,' and that's automatic mockery: 'She cannot possibly be a serious thinker.'

It doesn't take money to turn off the television and cultivate real bonding time.

I have a gruff side. This is not exactly news... At the same time, anyone who wants to judge me for this can walk a mile in my moccasins. And then we'll talk.

When my sister was diagnosed with cancer in 1989, her doctor told her that the cancer had probably been in her system for 10 years. By the time cancer's diagnosed, it's usually been around for quite a while.

God exists in eternity. The only point where eternity meets time is in the present. The present is the only time there is.

I never thought being famous would be wonderful, but my limited exposure to celebrity has shown me the dark side big-time.

Whatever it is that leads human beings to hate, to destroy, and to kill has taken on a collective force like never before, as technology and globalization now give it the capacity to not just strike, but to strike us all, together, as one.
