People like to say that the conflict is between good and evil. The real conflict is between truth and lies. ”

I am here and I'm alive. That's enough. ”

For thousands of years, there have been lies about being gay or not being gay. If you know they're lies, you're free. ”

Love is unknown. To open the heart in trust is unknown. They say love hurts. It doesn't have to. ”

I can say, 'Well, I'm a male. I'm a male human. I'm a medical doctor. I'm an author...' If I go to a religious point of view, I will say, 'I am a soul. I am a spirit.' If I go into science, I will say, 'I am energy. I am light.' But the truth is I have no idea what I am. ”

Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love. ”

Be Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. ”

I love and respect all religions and philosophies. I see how they get formed, how they grow up, and how powerful they are. But for me to believe in a specific god - no. Because what I believe is that the infinite, the absolute, is a living being and the only one living being that really exists. ”

Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time. ”

Life is very, very simple and easy to understand, but we complicate it with the beliefs and ideas that we create. ”
