Women must be very gentle with men as they, as well as women, seek to regain the lost wholeness for which they were destined.

To be born is to start the journey towards death.

The creative impulse can be killed, but it cannot be taught. What a teacher can do... in working with children, is to give the flame enough oxygen so that it can burn. As far as I'm concerned, this providing of oxygen is one of the noblest of all vocations.

Like it or not, we either add to the darkness of indifference and out-and-out evil which surrounds us or we light a candle to see by.

The part of us that has to be burned away is something like the deadwood on the bush; it has to go, to be burned in the terrible fire of reality, until there is nothing left but . . . what we are meant to be.

Because you're not what I would have you be, I blind myself to who, in truth, you are.

We tend to think things are new because we've just discovered them.
