A life of total dedication to the truth also means a life of willingness to be personally challenged.

We cannot solve life's problems except by solving them.

If you are determined not to risk pain, then you must do without many things: having children, getting married, the ecstasy of sex, the hope of ambition, friendship-all that makes life alive, meaningful and significant.

All human interactions are opportunities either to learn or to teach.

How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide our wounds when we are all wounded.

Often the most loving thing we can do when a friend is in pain is to share the pain-to be there even when we have nothing to offer except our presence and even when being there is painful to ourselves.

Love is the free exercise of choice. Two people love each other only when they are quite capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other.
