Sex is ... scratching an itch Everything else is something we project on a very simple act. It's the psychology, not the biology, that's complicated.

The thing about sex is not that you're naked physically, but if you do it right, that you're naked emotionally.

If we give up the notion that everybody’s life is perfect but ours, we would be a lot happier. Nobody’s life is perfect.

In its purest form, dating is auditioning for mating (and auditioning means we may or may not get the part).

Just trying to do something - just being there, showing up - is how we get braver. Self-esteem is about doing.

Superstition is just fantasy with attitude; it's a way of erroneously trying to control events.

Once you become aware of what means the most to you, you're less likely to put off something that's really valuable for something that matters much less... it's knowing the difference between what's important and what isn't that allows us to solve problems effectively.
