The only thing that really matters in life are your relationships to other people.

It's very hard, for most of us to tolerate being loved.

It is not stress that kills us. It is effective adaptation to stress that allows us to live.

We can laugh from either joy or happiness, but we weep only from grief or joy...Without the pain of farewell, there is no joy in reunion...without the pain of captivity, we don't experience the joy of freedom.

Joy is connection... The more areas in your life you can make connection, the better.

Anxiety and depression are the price you pay for a well-lived life.

Life ain't easy. Terrible things happen to everyone. You have to keep your sense of humor, give something of yourself to others, make friends who are younger than you, learn new things, and have fun.
