All of the truly important battles are waged within the self. (7)

Sometimes life seems like a poorly designed cage within which man has been sentenced to be free.

We must learn to give ourselves permission to blunder, to fail, and to make fools of ourselves every day for the rest of our lives. We do so in any case.

Openness to my own dreams puts me in touch with the oldest, most human aspects of who I am; it helps me find my place in the community of man.

If I reveal myself without worrying about how others will respond, then some will care, though others may not. But who can love me, if no one knows me? I must risk it, or live alone.

To live without the creative potential of our own destructiveness is to be a cardboard angel.

That is one of the reasons why a man should pick a path with heart, so that he can find his laughter.
