Acceptance, tolerance, bravery, compassion. These are the things my mom taught me!

I think tolerance and acceptance and love is something that feeds every community.

Acceptance is the key to be truly free.

It is a good instinct if you don't distort it and pervert it. Don't give it up. Keep feeling the need for being important. Keep feeling the need for being first. But I want you to be the first in love. I want you to be the first in moral excellence. I want you to be the first in generosity.

Don't take 'no' for an answer, never submit to failure. Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance. You will make all kinds of mistakes, but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or events.

It's nice to be included in people's fantasies but you also like to be accepted for your own sake.
