Adolescence is when girls experience social pressure to put aside their authentic selves and to display only a small portion of their gifts.

Something dramatic happens to girls in early adolescence. Just as planes and ships disappear mysteriously into the Bermuda Triangle, so do the selves of girls go down in droves.

When one of us tells the truth, he makes it easier for all of us to open our hearts to our pain and that of others.

With meditation I found a ledge above the waterfall of my thoughts.

Adolescents are travelers, far from home with no native land, neither children nor adults. They are jet-setters who fly from one country to another with amazing speed. Sometimes they are four years old, an hour later they are twenty-five. They don't really fit anywhere. There's a yearning for place, a search for solid ground.

All feelings are acceptable, but all behavior isn't.

Adolescence is a border between childhood and adulthood. Like all borders, it's teeming with energy and fraught with danger.
