Adolescents need freedom to choose, but not so much freedom that they cannot, in fact, make a choice.

You see a child play, and it is so close to seeing an artist paint, for in play a child says things without uttering a word. You can see how he solves his problems. You can also see what's wrong. Young children, especially, have enormous creativity, and whatever's in them rises to the surface in free play.

If one sees the personality not as an apparatus that is essentially constructed by the time childhood is over, but as always in its essence developing, then life at 25 or 30 or at the gateway to middle age will stimulate its own intrigue, surprise, and exhilaration of discovery.

Doubt is the brother of shame.

If life is to be sustained, hope must remain.

You can actively flee, then, and you can actively stay put.
