“Dwelling on your problems doesn’t fix them; it just makes you an expert at them.”

“The very helplessness of the public which makes it necessary for them to consult the experts also makes it impossible for them to judge how expert they are.”

“Try patting them on the back or shoulder and telling them everything is going to be fine. Lots of times when girls cry, they don't want you to fix the problem, they just want to be consoled.”

“you can't fix your mistakes. once people are dead, you can't make them undead.”

“Let them see that you trust them & let them solve their own problems, make their own decisions.Do that & they will commit their lives to you. Bully the, control them out of fear or malice or just for your own convenience, & after a while you'll have to spend all your time thinking for them, controlling them, & stifling their resentment.”

“A writer doesn’t solve problems. He allows them to emerge.”
