But man has other needs as well: emotional needs. These, too, are few, but every bit as important as his physical requirements, yet not so simple. If they aren't met, they can be as devastating as physical hunger, as uncomfortable as a lack of shelter, as incapacitating as thirst. The frustration, isolation and anxiety brought about by unmet emotional needs can, like physical privation, produce death or a degree of living death - neurosis and psychosis.

One must never be satisfied with his ability to love. No matter where he is, it is always just a beginning.

Man is happiest when he is creating. In fact, the highest state of which man is capable lies in the creative act.

Strong emotions are present in all people. Without feeling, we would not be human. It's unnatural for man to hide what he's feeling, though if taught to do so, he can learn. Love teaches a man to show what he is feeling. Love never presupposes that it can be discerned or felt without expression.

Love is always changing and unless we stay aware and change with it, it eludes us.

Assume that people are good until you actually and specifically learn differently. And even then, know that they have potential for change and that you can help them out.

Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.
