As soon as the love relationship does not lead me to me, as soon as I in a love relationship do not lead another person to himself, this love, even if it seems to be the most secure and ecstatic attachment I have ever experienced, is not true love. For real love is dedicated to continual becoming.

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.

I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn.

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.

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

Don't look over people's shoulders. Look in their eyes. Don't talk at your children. Take their faces in your hands and talk to them. Don't make love to a body, make love to a person.

There is a good deal of excellent research on child's play. It has shown conclusively that through play, with the freedom of action it allows and the stressless environment in which it occurs, children discover, relate to and define themselves and their world. ...It is, therefore, paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play.
