Loneliness is not cured by human company. Loneliness is cured by contact with reality.

The only way someone can be of help to you is in challenging your ideas.

We're crazy, We're living on crazy ideas about love, about relationships, about happiness, about joy, about everything.

In many ways we were drugged when we were young. We were brought up to need people. For what? For acceptance, approval, appreciation, applause.

Take the leap! You cannot cross a chasm in little jumps.

People who deliberate fully before they take a step will spend their lives on one leg

I was neurotic for years. I was anxious and depressed and selfish. Everyone kept telling me to change. I resented them and I agreed with them, and I wanted to change, but simply couldn't, no matter how hard I tried. Then one day someone said to me, Don't change. I love you just as you are. Those words were music to my ears: Don't change, Don't change. Don't change . . . I love you as you are. I relaxed. I came alive. And suddenly I changed!
