To say something nice about themselves, this is the hardest thing in the world for people to do.

Our culture raises us to seek success but we are not taught how to live with it.

Spontaneous love admits errors, hesitations and human failings. It can be tested and repaired.

I'm sure it's why I'm such an odd duck in my feminist generation, because I've always been equally fair to men.

Separation is not the end of love; it creates love.

I think biologically we are attracted to more than one person, but given society and our needs, monogamy works better.

After sex, men fear too much intimacy; they want to separate again. Women want to talk, to continue the merging, melting fusion into one. Postcoital conversations keep the woman's power alive. Through unconscious severance, by falling asleep, the man regains his self.
