"I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you donāt feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kidās runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you areā particularly when itās difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when itās done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (āIām not a big one for paying complimentsā¦ā), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter, a bit more Gene Kelly dancing in the rain."

"Let us remember that animals are not mere resources for human consumption. They are splendid beings in their own right, who have evolved alongside us as co-inheritors of all the beauty and abundance of life on this planet."

"The ego says, āI shouldnāt have to suffer,ā and that thought makes you suffer so much more. It is a distortion of the truth, which is always paradoxical. The truth is that you need to say yes to suffering before you can transcend it."
