“If you cannot extol the virtue of your own creation, how can you expect others to?”

“if you cannot keep your own secret, you cannot expect a friend to keep it for you”

“You can survive on your own; you can grow strong on your own; you can prevail on your own; but you cannot become human on your own.”

“Do you think that we're products of our environments? I think so, or maybe products of our expectations. Others' expectations of us or our expectations. I mean others' expectations that you take on as your own. I realize how difficult it is to seperate the two. The expectations that others place on us help us form our expectations of ourselves.”

“All creations are one with the universe. Look at the world around you. Can you effectively separate yourself from everything else? After seriously pondering this, most of us rapidly conclude that we cannot. To even make the statement that I exist as a unique entity requires comparison with something else. (If you exist as a distinct being, your distinctiveness is in comparison to other creations. No other creations, no individual you.)”

“You cannot be kind unless you have all the other virtues.”
