We have a largely materialistic lifestyle characterized by a materialistic culture. However, this only provides us with temporary, sensory satisfaction, whereas long-term satisfaction is based not on the senses but on the mind. That's where real tranquility is to be found. And peace of mind turns out to be a significant factor in our physical health too.

Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart.

Have the courage to go against the tide of this culture of efficiency, this culture of waste. Encountering and welcoming everyone, [building] solidarity-a word that is being hidden by this culture, as if it were a bad word-solidarity and fraternity: these are what make our society truly human.

When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind.

I believe we are powerful but we don't use our minds to full capacity. Your mind is powerful enough to help you attain whatever you want.

A lot of people have pretty little heads, but it's difficult to find a pretty little mind.
