“Authentic faith leads us to treat others with unconditional seriousness and to a loving reverence for the mystery of the human personality. Authentic Christianity should lead to maturity, personality, and reality. It should fashion whole men and women living lives of love and communion. False, manhandled religion produces the opposite effect. Whenever religion shows contempt or disregards the rights of persons, even under the noblest pretexts, it draws us away from reality and God.”
“If you want to talk about grace, if you want to talk about revelation, talk about your life with some depth, which doesn't mean lurid revelations as much as simply looking at your own deep experiences and describing them as they are.”

“The great question for our time is, how to make sure that the continuing scientific revolution brings benefits to everybody rather than widening the gap between rich and poor.

Technology must be guided and driven by ethics if it is to do more than provide new toys for the rich.”
“Always wear cute pyjamas to bed, you'll never know who u will meet in your dreams.”
“There is science, logic, reason; there is thought verified by experience. And then there is California.”
“You may be right in believing that if you study hard, one day you might become fluent in English. But you will still look Chinese, and when people meet you, theyâ€™ll see a Chinese girl no matter how well you speak English. Youâ€™ll always be expected to know Chinese, and if you donâ€™t, Iâ€™m afraid they will not respect you as much.”
