My work has always been about authentic feeling, and I think we live in a time where we need that.

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

Feelings or emotions are the universal language and are to be honored. They are the authentic expression of who you are at your deepest place.

The emotions that sustain religious belief are all, in fact, deeply ordinary and deeply recognisable to anybody who has ever made their way across the common ground of human experience as an adult.

Alternative descriptions of the same reality evoke different emotions and different associations.

Authentic values are those by which a life can be lived, which can form a people that produces great deeds and thoughts.

The authentic experience, where is that? Living the moment. That is something that we're losing.

I think living in our culture right now, there's a universal experience where we feel like we become what we do. Sometimes that's rewarding and sometimes that creates an existential crisis.

We must become acquainted with our emotional household: we must see our feelings as they actually are, not as we assume they are. This breaks their hypnotic and damaging hold on us.

If we treasure our own experience and regard it as real, we must also treasure other people's experience.
