“Another word to describe the word spirituality would probably be the word love. If somebody asked, ‘How do I feel spiritual?’ Well, how do you feel when you’re loved?” — Shane Wilson

“The more people I can help, the more inspiration I feel inside. It’s just kind of a feedback. I mean, what a wonderful world if everyone could feel that and know that. And I think deep inside, spiritual beings do feel that. ”— Shane Wilson
