One thing I feel clear about is that it's important not to let your life live you. Otherwise, you end up at forty feeling you haven't really lived. What have I learned? Perhaps to live now, so that at fifty I won't look back upon my forties with regret.

A sense of life meaning ensues but cannot be deliberately pursued: life meaning is always a derivative phenomenon that materializes when we have transcended ourselves, when we have forgotten ourselves and become absorbed in someone (or something) outside ourselves

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

I think my quarry is illusion. I war against magic. I believe that, though illusion often cheers and comforts, it ultimately and invariably weakens and constricts the spirit.

If you want to choose the pleasure of growth, prepare yourself for some pain.

Living safely is dangerous.

When people don't have any curiosity about themselves, that is always a bad sign.
