“We do not escape into philosophy, psychology, and art--we go there to restore our shattered selves into whole ones.”

“Unless we are willing to escape into sentimentality or fantasy, often the best we can do with catastrophes, even our own, is to find out exactly what happened and restore some of the missing parts.”

“When we are self-conscious, we cannot be wholly aware...So, when we wholly concentrate, like a child in play, or an artist at work, then we share in the act of creating. We not only escape time, we also escape our self-conscious selves.”

“We go to the past to lay the blame - since the past can't argue. We go to our past selves to account for our present miseries.”

“We work to create workplaces where everyone can bring our whole selves to work every single day.”

“The best gift we can give other people is our whole selves in truth. By doing so we give them a true and accurate mirror that allows them to see themselves. We also give ourselves the best opportunity to grow.”
