“We carry in our worlds that flourish, our worlds that have failed.”
“How is it that we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders, but we have to get it off our chest?”
“To be shown love is to feel ourselves the object of concern: our presence is noted, our name is registered, our views are listened to, our failings are treated with indulgence and our needs are ministered to. And under such care, we flourish.”
“We all carry within us places of exile, our crimes, our ravages. Our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to transform them in ourselves and others.”
“We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already.”
“We fail to reckon with the reality of human nature. By nature,we are egocentric. Our world revolves around us. None of us is totally altruistic.”
