Freedom is still the most radical idea of all.

Romantic love can be terrifying. We experience another human being as enormously important to us. So there is surrender -not a surrender to the other person so much as to our feeling for the other person. What is the obstacle? The possibility of loss.

A productive purpose to which you give yourself fully and joyfully is one of the great adventures of life. It is a uniquely human source of happiness.

Respect starts with ourselves.

A woman in love will do almost anything for a man, except give up the desire to improve him.
