“If you haven't forgiven yourself something how can you forgive others?”

“My mother was a very wonderful woman. When she and my dad divorced, she moved to California and worked two jobs in the cannery at night and as a waitress during the day. But she saved enough money to establish a restaurant.”

“My dad was very intelligent, had a very strong personality. I was amazed with my father.”

“My mother never made me do anything for my brothers, like serve them. I think that's an important lesson, especially for the Latino culture, because the women are expected to be the ones that serve and cook and whatever. Not in our family. Everybody was equal.”

“We criticize and separate ourselves from the process. We've got to jump right in there with both feet.”

“Giving kids clothes and food is one thing but it's much more important to teach them that other people besides themselves are important and that the best thing they can do with their lives is to use them in the service of other people.”
