I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine.

If you take responsibility for what you are doing to yourself, how you produce your symptoms, how you produce your illness, how you produce your existence-the very moment you get in touch with yourself-growth begins, integration begins.

Humans don't really improve on our own functioning, we only interfere with it, distort it, and disguise it.

Nothing changes until it becomes what it is.

To mature means to take responsibility for your life, to be on your own. Psychoanalysis fosters the infantile state by considering that the past is responsible for the illness.

Teaching means to show a person that something is possible.

I do my thing and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, And you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.
