The flow of spiritual connectedness and oneness with life will dwell in you if your heart and mind is open and innocent.

The thing about stereotyping is it's usually just throwing rocks into a crowd hoping to hit somebody who deserves it.

DOSTIE: Let's be honest here. People? Sometimes they suck. But kids, well, they're like a new snowfall, you know?

If we could all drink ourselves to innocence, I’d be guilty. And I mean that in a way that I don’t mean that.

Keep your innocence and ignorance aside, and expose yourself to dangerous situations, and understand the deeper secrets of life.
