“we create ourselves as we go along”
“The demand that we love our neighbor as ourselves contains as an axiom the demand that we shall love ourselves, shall accept ourselves as we were created.”
“We all create stories to protect ourselves.”
“If we are creating ourselves all the time, then it is never too late to begin creating the bodies we want instead of the ones we mistakenly assume we are stuck with.”
“We are always in a perpetual state of being created and creating ourselves. (p. 221)”
“We can only love the way we were created to if we are first whole in ourselves.”
