Favorite Quotes:

“We need people with different life experiences so we can hear each other’s stories, to add to them, to understand them, to disagree with them, to help people stop feeling self-conscious about bumping into other tribes and help people feel there could be something richer if they experiment with other human relationships.” – Richard Reed

“What do you have to do is live for the day, you have to say, now is life, this very moment. It’s not tomorrow, it’s not yesterday, it’s now, so you have to live it as fully as you can. Invest in every day.” – Terry Waite

“The quality of your life ultimately depends on the quality of your relationships. Not on your achievements, not on how smart you are, not on how rich you are, but on the quality of your relationships, which are basically a reflection of your sense of decency, your ability to think of others, your generosity.” – Esther Perel

“Discover the joys of embracing diversity. When people become more open to the strange, to the unusual, to the radical, to the other, we become more nourished as a species. Currently our ability to do that is being manipulated, diversity is being looked upon as a source of evil rather than as a source of joy and development. We must we capture the profound benefits of seeing the joy in our collective diversity, not the fear.” – Harry Bellafonte

“Be bold. If you’re bold you might royally screw up but you can also achieve more, so be bold. You’ve only got your own reputation to lose and that’s not important. It’s much better to strive for something that seems impossible, that’s quite nuts on some level. So be bold, whatever it is. Find those small moments of boldness because they are everywhere.” – Martha Lane Fox
