“Other people are only aspects of our own greater being.”

“For many people, one of the most frustrating aspects of life is not being able to understand other people's behavior.”

“Here we have the paradox, the potentially tragic paradox, that our relatedness to others is an essential aspect of our being, as is our separateness, but any particular person is not a necessary part of our being.”

“Equally disquieting are the times when we do make a choice, only to later feel as though we have murdered some other aspect of our being by settling on one single concrete decision.”

“The more we genuinely care about others the greater our own happiness & inner peace.”

“Greatness lies not in high or outstanding ability. It lies simply in the willingness to use what we have for others. The greater the `other people` dimension, the greater our personal `greatness`.”
