Sometimes when I generalize, I am saying, 'Let's pretend I am God,' and of course the other person argues that point endlessly. But I notice that if the other person takes a stand for himself and states his thoughts as his thoughts, I pay more attention to what he is saying and look deeper in myself.

Happiness is a present attitude and not a future condition.

Don't strive for love, be it.

By approaching my problems with "What might make things a little better?" rather than "What is the solution?" I avoid setting myself up for certain frustration. My experience has shown me that I am not going to solve anything in one stroke; at best I am only going to chip away at it.

'Fault' means failure to meet a standard. Whose? Mine.

Negative feedback is better that none. I would rather have a man hate me than overlook me. As long as he hates me I make a difference.

All my life, I have made it complicated, but it is so simple. I love when I love. And when I love, I am myself.
