Raz Mihal
“The past is one part of the movie, and the future reveals how the film will continue... You can't change fate. Life and surroundings you can't change. You just have the impression that you can do something about it.”
― Raz Mihal, Just Love Her

Jacqueline Simon Gunn
“Flaco was a hero in the true sense of the word. He wasn’t trying to be courageous or earn a title for himself, he was simply living authentically and through the disclosure of his true nature, he offered humans the opportunity to find the hero within themselves.”
― Jacqueline Simon Gunn, Flaco the Owl Spreads His Wings
