“Imagine a man who doesn't believe in anything, hope for anything, doesn't love anyone. This is a description of a dead or paralyzed soul. This happens from great grief, or from an unhappy upbringing when parents make from their children's souls paralytics.”

“But feel what happens in the soul when you imagine children saying to their parents, "What you gave me, first of all, wasn't the right thing, and secondly, it wasn't enough. You still owe me." What do children have from their parents when they feel that way? Nothing. And what do the parents have from their children? Also nothing. Such children cannot separate from their parents. Their accusations and demands tie them to their parents so that, although they are bound to their parents, the children have no parents. They then feel empty, needy and weak.This is the second Order of Love, that children take what their parents give in addition to life as it comes.”

“Love doesn't make you blind. It paralyzes until you can't breathe or run away from it.”

“Anything can happen to anyone, but it usually doesn't. Except when it does.”

“...there's the suffering from love and the suffering from grief - either pain permanently scars the soul...”

“From biscuit to brides, if there is anything their children really want, parents have a problem.”
