In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.

It's easy to say I love you with your mouth. But I like when people say I love you with their heart.

I want to tell the children of the world, you are all our children, each one of you is my child and I love you all.

There are two kinds of music. One comes from the strings of a guitar, the other from the strings of the heart.

I'm a lover not a fighter.

There are people that I am in love with, totally in love with them. I would die for them. I love Michelangelo. I love Charlie Chaplin with all my heart. I love Walt Disney. These are the people I am nuts over. These are my people. I love the great ones.
