“If you say something and reject any criticism, then your words truly meant to advise yourself.”

“Be patient and loving with yourself. You weren't meant to be your biggest critic, but your biggest fan.”

“You can decide to forgo any ethical deliberations and simply embrace the moral beliefs and norms you inherited from your family and culture. But this approach undermines your freedom, for if you accept without question whatever moral beliefs come your way, they are not really yours. Only if you critically examine them for yourself are they truly yours.”

“If you truly believe in something that is totally rejected by others, then you've just made a difference.”

“I don't advise. You mutn't give any weight to what I say, except in so far as your own judgment approves it.”

“Have faith in who you are. Believe that you will recover, and it will truly happen. And don't judge yourself too harshly. Some things are meant to be, and you had to fall so that later you may rise and become what you are truly meant to be.”
