Child development: Most damaging course of action is attempting to keep children from experience or protect them from pain, for it is this time that children learn that life is a magic thing, if "not a rose garden." The parent's role is primarily to stand by with a good supply of band-aids.

We are so ruled by what people tell us we must be that we have forgotten who we are.

A total immersion in life offers the best classroom for learning to love.

A life of love is one of continual growth, where the doors and windows of experience are always open to the wonder and magic that life offers. To love is to risk living fully.

Don't walk in my head with your dirty feet.

Learn to bend. It's better than breaking.

Find the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.
