“Do not tell everyone your story. You will only end up feeling more rejected. People cannot give you what you long for in your heart. The more you expect from people's response to your experience of abandonment, the more you will feel exposed to ridicule.”
“It's by understanding me, and the boys, and mother, that you have helped me. I expect that is the only way one person ever really can help another.”
“When you hold people up for ridicule, you have to take responsibility when other people act on it.”
“Really now: If you can't get me my newspaper on time, how can you expect me to refrain from killing people?”
“Helping others without anticipating or expecting others to help you in return, that is the path to spiritual prosperity.”
