My willingness to be intimate with my own deep feelings creates the space for intimacy with another.

I believe we are all geniuses-each in our own unique way.

Ambition is an idol, on whose wings great minds are carried only to extreme; to be sublimely great or to be nothing.

Everything that happens to us can be looked at as a gift. Although it's quite difficult when you're in the middle of a hard struggle with something, it's hard to see it as a gift, but in retrospect, we can almost always look back and say, "Oh, I see why I had to go through that."

It isn't necessary to be perfect to be a channel for the universe. You just have to be real- be yourself. The more real, honest, and spontaneous you are, the more freely the creative force can flow through you.

We have to get good at being with ourselves before we can hope to be good at being in relationships with others.

We avoid the things that we're afraid of because we think there will be dire consequences if we confront them. But the truly dire consequences in our lives come from avoiding things that we need to learn about or discover.
