Virginia SatirI believe the greatest gift I can conceive of having from anyone is to be seen by them, heard by them, to be understood and touched by them.
Virginia SatirOver the years I have developed a picture of what a human being living humanely is like. She is a person who understand, values and develops her body, finding it beautiful and useful; a person who is real and is willing to take risks, to be creative, to manifest competence, to change when the situation calls for it, and to find ways to accommodate to what is new and different, keeping that part of the old that is still useful and discarding what is not.
