You were given that pain and that vision because you have something to do with it.

The border between the dead and the living, if you're Mexican, doesn't exist. The dead are part of your life.

You don't want somebody who doesn't know his own heart, do you? You'll find someone who's brave enough to love you. Someday. One day. Not today.

I try to be as honest about what I see and to speak rather than be silent, especially if it means I can save lives, or serve humanity.

Books are medicine and you have to take the right medicine that you need at that moment or that day or that time in your life.

The ego's blocking the light from coming.

The truth has a strange way of following you, of coming up to you and making you listen to what it has to say.

I think no matter what you do you can't please everybody. You have to ask yourself, "Did I do what I set out to do?"

The world we live in is a house on fire and the people we love are burning.

You can't erase what you know. You can't forget who you are.

Every time we feel satisfied with what we have, we can be counted as rich, however little we may actually possess.

Feeling lost, crazy and desperate belongs to a good life as much as optimism, certainty and reason.

Unhappiness can stem from having only one perspective to play with.

A good half of the art of living is resilience.
