We treat our encounters with them with carefree casualness. We are certain that our relationships will naturally take care of themselves.

I get so sick and tired of hearing people gripe about what their parents did to them. You know what your parents did to you? The best thing they could do. The best thing they knew how, the only thing in many cases that they knew how. Nobody has set out maliciously to hurt their child, unless they were psychotic.

It doesn't matter who you have hurt, if you've learned not to hurt again. It doesn't matter what mistakes you've made as long as you don't make them again. As long as you learn, as long as you're willing to take your life in your hands, and kiss it and go from there. Then there is growth. There there is life!

Live now. When you are eating, eat. When you are loving, love. when you are talking with someone, talk. When you are looking at a flower, look. Catch the beauty of the moment!

To place your ideas and your dreams before the crowd is to risk being called naive.

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
