“Man needs what's worst in him in order to achieve what's best in him.”
“For what is the best choice, for each individual is the highest it is possible for him to achieve.”
“No man can be sane who searches for what will injure him in place of what is best.”
“You can't fall in love with a man for who he is, and then expect him to change. Just love him, and if he's worth his salt, he'll give you what you need and be the man you need him to be.”
“What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.”
“Whatever he had found, it made him a better person. Maybe that's what love was, finding the person who brings out the best in you and eliminates the worst.”
