"A human being is like a lightbulb—we radiate out what's inside. So if you're filled with anger, stress, and hate, you'll radiate that out. People don't like to sit down next to somebody who's filled with anger and negativity. On the other hand, if you're filled with happiness and love, you radiate that out; people like that and they feel good around you. It's just the way it is" – David Lynch

"There are things in the world that are so horrific and so heartbreaking, that if you let them, they will lock you out of your heart. And our job as artists, as leaders in working with higher consciousness and promoting higher consciousness—our job is not to let these moments, these situations, these tragedies, this pain, lock us out of our own heart." – Shiva Baum
