“Some communities don't permit open, honest inquiry about the things that matter most. Lots of people have voiced a concern, expressed a doubt, or raised a question, only to be told by their family, church, friends, or tribe: "We don't discuss those things here." I believe the discussion itself is divine.

So, extravagance has been bred out of my DNA.”
“There's always something to suggest that you'll never be who you wanted to be. Your choice is to take it or keep on moving.”
