There is no magician like love.
Don't punish yourselves for people's ignorant reactions to what we all are. Don't let ignorance win. Let love.

Don't let ignorance win. Let love.
Have you ever felt really close to someone? So close that you can't understand why you and the other person have two separate bodies, two separate skins?
It's Annie and me they're all sitting around here like cardboard people judging; It's Annie and me. And what we did that they think is wrong, when you pare it all down, was fall in love.

When the soil's fertility is being conserved instead of raped, when village life is a social unity, when pride of craftsmanship returns, when everyone works for the sake of adding beauty and importance to life, when every river is clean and bright, and the proud words 'I serve' are in everyone's heart and purpose. Then my country will be good enough for me.
You have a lot of friends who love you dearly and you don't know who they are.
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.
