The miracle of creation is only miraculous because of how we fit into it.

History reminds us that revolutions are not events, so much as they’re processes.
That for tens of thousands of years, people have been making decisions that irrevocably shaped the world that we live in today.
Just as today we’re making subtle, irrevocable decisions that people of the future will remember as revolutions.

…I love being in cities with lots of other people because I’m reminded that there are billions of people like me and we are each stuck inside of our minds, feverishly trying to crawl out to make connections with other people.

We have gender specific Happy Meals now? I don’t think this represents progress, Hank.

It’s hard for everyone. It always seems like it’s hardest for you, but your success and your happiness has much more to do with understanding other people around you than it does with understanding yourself. And, guess what, the homecoming queen probably has crippling phobias too. It sounds cliche, but you have to think about everyone like they’re people, and suddenly you realize that 90% of teenagers have moments where they want to cut themselves, pull out their hair, punch their best friend and sit crying in the shower. And EVERYONE was once a teenager…that goes for your teachers, parents, rock idols, and grand parents…and those people all made it through.
