“When we give ourselves in love we become our most vulnerable. We are never safe. We become open to disappointment and hurt.”

“We created time, and now we have become the slave of time.”

“When we cling to pain, we end up punishing ourselves.”

“What we need to know about loving is no great mystery. We all know what constitutes loving behavior; we need but act upon it, not continually question it. Over-analysis often confuses the issue and in the end brings us no closer to insight. We sometimes become too busy classifying, separating, and examining, to remember that love is easy. It's we who make it complicated.”

“Most of us remain strangers to ourselves, hiding who we are, and ask other strangers, hiding who they are, to love us.”

“Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.”

“If we wish to free ourselves from enslavement, we must choose freedom and the responsibility this entails.”
