If we could learn even a little to like ourselves, maybe our cruelties and angers might melt away.

Hate cannot live alone. It must have love as a trigger, a goad, or a stimulant.

But you must give him some sign, some sign that you love him... or he'll never be a man. All his life he'll feel guilty and alone unless you release him.

It requires self-esteem to receive-not self-love but just a pleasant acquaintance and liking for oneself.

It sometimes happens that what you feel is not returned for one reason or another-but that does not make your feeling less valuable and good.

The human is the only guilty animal.

It is strange how a man believes he can think better in a special place. I have such a place, have always had it, but I know it isn't thinking I do there, but feeling and experiencing and remembering. It's a safety place. Everyone must have one, although I never heard a man tell of it.
