“Don't dream of being a good person, be a human being is valuable and gives value to life.”

“The most valuable of all capital is that invested in human beings”

“A culture that values production over life values the wrong things, because it will produce things at the expense of living beings, human or otherwise.”

“All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind together.”

“It is rarely possible, when a human being is in deep need, to look upon somebody who offers help as merely another flawed human being with whom one is going to engage in a protracted conversation. A kind of wild idealization sets in, and we imagine the person in whom we confide to possess ineffable and valuable traits beyond those attainable by ordinary mortals. We ascribe value, and project qualities onto this person that almost never correspond with reality. It is a little bit like falling in love - powerful emotions are called forth. It takes a strong person not to exploit the ensuing power imbalance.”

“Where the myth fails, human love begins. Then we love a human being, not our dream, but a human being with flaws.”
