Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.

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.

I live now and only now, and I will do what I want to do this moment and not what I decided was best for me yesterday.

There is a time to let things happen and a time to make things happen.

Letting people in is largely a matter of not expending the energy to keep them out.

Books seek us out. They slip themselves into our hands just at the time we are ready for a new self-concept.

Before, I thought I was actually fighting for my own self-worth; that is why I so desperately wanted people to like me. I thought their liking me was a comment on me, but it was a comment on them.
