In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did and why you no longer need to feel it.

The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn’t the family. If you don’t have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from a family, you don’t have much at all. Love is so supremely important. As our great poet Auden said, ‘Love each other or perish’.

I seem to have very few casual readers, only passionate and appreciative ones.

You knew me. You knew that person, but you don't know the person I'm trying to become... You are not your past!

You can't substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship

Look, no matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don’t see what we could be. We should be looking at our potential, stretching ourselves into everything we can become. But if you’re surrounded by people who say ‘I want mine now,’ you end up with a few people with everything and a military to keep the poor ones from rising up and stealing it.

Being unheard is the ground floor of giving up.
