If we seek to be loved - if we expect to be loved - this cannot be accomplished; we will be dependent and grasping not genuinely loving.

When we love something it is of value to us, and when something is of value to us we spend time with it, time enjoying it and time taking care of it.

Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

Doubt is often the beginning of wisdom.

Worship is yet another paradox of the religious life: it is simultaneously the greatest duty and the greatest pleasure of faith. Worship is the act of truly loving God. Believe in this brilliant Being, this magnificent "higher power," who not only created us but nurtures us with care and intelligence beyond our imagination, and obviously we are called to worship Him.

Falling in love is not an extension of one's limits or boundaries; it is a partial and temporary collapse of them.

The symptoms and the illness are not the same thing. The illness exists long before the symptoms. Rather than being the illness, the symptoms are the beginning of its cure. The fact that they are unwanted makes them all the more a phenomenon of grace — a gift of God, a message from the unconscious.
