“Whatever ideals we would impress upon others we must first have realized in ourselves.”
“We must row in whatever boat we find ourselves in.”
“we all have too many wheels, screws and valves to judge each other on first impressions or one or two pointers. I don't understand you, you don't understand me and we don't understand ourselves.”
“We must give ourselves freedom, not to be whatever we think we should be, but to be exactly what we are.”
“We don't recognize each other because other people have become our permanent mirrors. If we actually realized this, if we were able to become aware of the fact that we are only ever looking at ourselves in the other person, that we are alone in the wilderness, we would go crazy.”
“We all deserve to be treated with nothing but respect. In order to command respect from others, we must first and foremost respect ourselves.”
