To love oneself is to struggle to rediscover and maintain your uniqueness

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.

Love is a dynamic interaction, lived every second of our lives, all of our lives.

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.

Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.
