One can be emptied out and be filled up.

You protect your being when you love yourself better. That's the secret.

One can not love without opening oneself, and opening oneself, that's taking the risk of suffering. One does not have control.

I've learned that to expose yourself, to reveal yourself is a test of your humanness.

To leave in search of yourself, of your real needs, is easier when you don't have to justify yourself to anyone, when there are not too many people bestowing you their attention.

I do not want to work to correspond to an image.

There has already been the karmic work: that what life has transformed in me, this initiation brought on, of necessity, by trials.
