The spirit of a man is constructed out of his choices.

Perhaps the single most important therapeutic credo that I have is that the unexamined life is not worth living.

To care of another individual means to know and to experience the other as fully as possible.

If we look at life in its small details, how ridiculous it all seems. It is like a drop of water seen through a microscope, a single drop teeming with protozoa. How we laugh as they bustle about so eagerly and struggle with one another. Whether here, or in the little span of human life, this terrible activity produces a comic effect

Mature love is loving, not being loved.

If one is to love oneself one must behave in ways that one can admire.

Look out the other’s window. Try to see the world as your patient sees it.
