The act of revealing oneself fully to another and still being accepted may be the major vehicle of therapeutic help.

To love means to be actively concerned for the life and the growth of another.

If I'm among men who don't agree at all with my nature, I will hardly be able to accommodate myself to them without greatly changing myself. A free man who lives among the ignorant strives as far as he can to avoid their favors. A free man acts honestly, not deceptively. Only free man are genuinely useful to one another and can form true friendships. And it's absolutely permissible, by the highest right of Nature, for everyone to employ clear reason to determine how to live in a way that will allow him to flourish.

One comprehends oneself in order not to be preoccupied with oneself.

Life is a miserable thing. I have decided to spend my life thinking about it.

Living safely is dangerous.

To the extent that one is responsible for one's life, one is alone.
