Life isn't one-dimensional. The world isn't simply divided into good versus evil. I think we're all capable of both.

I think we often live at a surface level, and that ends up with us in a lot of difficulty because we just function on assumptions and secondhand knowledge.

The idea that there is a sharp boundary between our true inner selves and the outside world is pervasive but highly questionable. The boundaries of the self might well be more porous than we ordinarily think.

To me, human existence exists on a multiple level, not just on a two-dimensional level, not just having to be identified with what you do and what you say.

You can't sustain a high level of intense activity with thousands of people forever. It has to be for a specific objective.

In order to engage in an 'experiencing of the world,' one has to physically move oneself to the most diverse places on earth.

This is a perverse thing, personally, but I would rather be in the cycle where people are underestimating us. It gives us latitude to go out and make big bets that excite and amaze people.

Scenery is fine - but human nature is finer.

When you scratch the surface, every one of us has something that we deeply want to contribute to the world. All we have to do is step up and do it.

In the developed world, hundreds of millions of us now face the bizarre problem of surfeit. Yet our brains, instincts, and socialized behavior are still geared to an environment of lack. The result? Overwhelm - on an unprecedented scale.
