“Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.”
Barbara De Angelis

Leo F. Buscaglia
“Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior”
Boethius
“The strategic adversary is fascism... the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behavior, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us.”
Michel Foucault
“The ideal behavior for Muslims is to imitate the prophets. Muhammad was human like us and that didn't mean people didn't criticize him either ... but there is no need for violence (over the issue).”
