Let me simply state that it is wrong to regard any other human being, a priori, as an object, or an 'It.' This is so because each and every human being - you, every friend, every stranger, every foreigner - is precious.

We know a great deal more about the causes of physical disease than we do about the causes of physical health.

Not only do self-love and love of others go hand in hand but ultimately they are indistinguishable.

Falling in love is not an act of will. It is not a conscious choice. No matter how open to or eager for it we may be, the experience may still elude us. Contrarily, the experience may capture us at times when we are definitely not seeking it, when it is inconvenient and undesirable.

As I grow through love, so grows my joy, ever more present, ever more constant.

The only real security in life lies in relishing life's insecurity.

The will to grow is, in essence, the same phenomenon as love. Genuinely loving people are, by definition, growing people.
