“Every person's true identity is beautiful, and much of the ugliness we observe in others was put inside of them by external influences.”

“Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.”

“The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart.”

“Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.”

“I think we all have the germ of every other person inside of us.”

“Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.”
