TWEETABLE QUOTES


“If you’re the outlier, just be the outlier. Declare it. Yeah, be
the outsider if that’s what you are.” (08:58)


“The energy of anger is fire. Too much of that will burn out your
system. It will burn your relationships, but just enough – for
the right reason, in the right direction – looks like justice. It
looks like policy change. It looks like clear decision making.”
(17:53)


“And forgiveness, my experience of the feeling is it’s a profound
relief. It’s a homecoming.” (24:16)


“My definition of leadership is the courage to hold the vision up
and invite people to that vision. And, that courage comes from
introspection and being able to be still and stillness takes
courage.” (36:55)


“If you don’t want to live a life of service, if you don’t think
there’s some higher order to this, I might not have that much to
offer you. I’m not interested in convincing you of anything. I’m
really actually interested in teaching teachers and singing to
and with the choir.” (40:45)


“I want you to be joyful. I want you to be whole. And, I think
the result of love is joy.” (42:26)


“I think most of us just need to be witnessed.” (1:08:19)
