“And the best way to know who we are is often to find out how others see us.”

“Most of us lead far more meaningful lives than we know. Often finding meaning is not about doing things differently; it is about seeing familiar things in new ways. ”

“[...]you learn how much space there is between the way you want to be seen, the way you feel inside, and the way other people see you. How divorced our sense of self often is from who we really are.”

“Learning was of two kinds: the one being the things we learned and knew, and the other being the training that taught us how to find out what we did not know?”

“Everyone pretends to be normal and be your best friend, but underneath, everyone is living some other life you don't know about, and if only we had a camera on us at all times, we could go and watch each other's tapes and find out what each of us was really like.”

“So long as we imagine it is we who have to look for God, we must often lose heart. But it is the other way about – He is looking for us.”
