Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.

Love is an adventure and a conquest. It survives and develops, like the universe itself, only by perpetual discovery.

At the heart of every being lies creation's dream of a principle that will one day give organic form to its fragmented treasures. God is unity.

If we fetishize trauma as incommunicable, then survivors are trapped - unable to feel truly known by their nonmilitary friends and family.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.
