• The greatest of all our human concepts is the immortality of the personality and the eternal glory of the human soul. Throughout eternity you will be yourself and I will be myself, with quickened senses amplified powers of perception, and vastly increased capacity for reason, understanding, love, and happiness, all of which are qualities we may develop now. Our machines wear out, our barns fall down, and our substance goes back to the dust, but our finest collection of personal qualities will have eternal life.

• This crazy little party girl who loves to enjoy life actually has a purpose. So, that's really the core of why I've survived so many years and I can go and I can fall down and I can get back up. Why? Because I know why I'm here. That's the question that a lot of people need to answer when they do fall is, 'Why am I here?' If you can answer that question, you'll be able to dust yourself off and shine like a phoenix out of ashes.

• I used to dream
  I used to glance beyond the stars
  Now I don't know where we are
  although I know we've drifted far
  What about yesterday
  What about the seas
  The heavens are falling down
  I can't even breathe
  What about the bleeding Earth
  Can't we feel its wounds
  What about nature's worth?
  It's our planet's womb.

  Michael Jackson
