“We are not defined by the family into which we are born, but the one we choose and create. We are not born, we become.”

“The family we choose for ourselves is more important than the one we were born into; that people have to earn our respect and trust, not have it handed to them simply because of genetics.”

“The supreme adventure is being born. There we do walk suddenly into a splendid and startling trap... When we step into the family, by the act of being born, we do step into a world which is incalculable, into a world which has its own strange laws, into a world which could do without us, into a world we have not made. In other words, when we step into the family we step into a fairy-tale.”

“There are two paths of which one may choose in the walk of life; one we are born with, and the one we consciously blaze. One is naturally true, while the other is a perceptive illusion. Choose wisely at each fork in the road.”

“No one is born fully-formed: it is through self-experience in the world that we become what we are.”

“We have three kinds of family 1.Those we are born to 2.Those who are born to us3.And those we let into our hearts ♥”
