“Respect for ourselves guides our morals; respect for others guides our manners”
“The task that remains is to cope with our interdependence - to see ourselves reflected in every other human being and to respect and honor our differences.”
“The stars and planets do not guide us. Instead, they are guided by the core of our being and reflect our physical moment in time.”
“If we are to love our neighbors as ourselves, we must regard their beliefs with the same respect our own deserve.”
“If we're always guided by other people's thoughts, what's the point in having our own?”
“We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel... is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.”
