“The things about others that irritate, annoy, and unsettle us are the very things we have not accepted and embraced about ourselves”

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”

“The very purpose of existence it to reconcile the glowing opinion we have of ourselves with the appalling things that other people think of us.”

“When we talk about ourselves, about others, or simply about things, we want- it could be said – to reveal ourselves in our words: We want to show what we think and feel. We let other have a glimpse into our soul.”

“The things we hate about ourselves aren't more real than things we like about ourselves.”

“None of us are bad people. We float around and we run across each other and we learn about ourselves, and we make mistakes and we do great things. We hurt others, we hurt ourselves, we make others happy and we please ourselves. We can and should forgive ourselves and each other for that.”
