Romantic love is a passionate spiritual-emotional-sexual attachment between a man and a woman that reflects a high regard for the value of each other's person.

Even when our life is most difficult, it is important to remember that something within us is keeping us alive- the life force-that lift us, energizes us, pulls us back sometimes from the abyss of despair. True spirituality does not exist without love of life.

Do not marry the enemy of your excitement.

You have a right to your feelings. Your feelings are there to tell you something, but they are not infallible guides to behavior.

The feeling that "I am enough" does not mean that I have nothing to learn, nothing further to achieve, and nowhere to grow to. It means that I accept myself, that I am not on trial in my own eyes, that I value and respect myself. This is not an act of indulgence but of courage.

Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves.

Self-acceptance is my refusal to be in an adversarial relationship to myself.
