“Not responding is a response - we are equally responsible for what we don't do.”

“Not responding is a response--we are equally responsible for what we don't do. In the case of animal slaughter, to throw your hands in the air is to wrap your fingers around a knife handle.”

“To believe that someone else is responsible for your emotional state is to give them a sort of psychic power over you they do not have...we really do generate our own feelings. No one else can do it for us. We respond and are responsible. To think other people are responsible for our feelings is to inhabit a billiard ball, inanimate universe.”

“We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact. ”

“The fact is that we don't want to be free. What is responsible for our problems is the fear of losing what we have and what we know.”

“It is how we respond to loss that matters. That response will largely determine the quality, the direction, and the impact of our lives.”
