“When a man can listen to a woman's feelings without getting angry and frustrated, he gives her a wonderful gift.He makes it safe for her to express herself.The more she is able to express herself, the more she feels heard and understood, and the more she is able to give a man the loving trust, acceptance, appreciation, admiration, approval, and encouragement that he needs.”
“The world cares little about what a man knows;it cares more about what a man is able to do.”
“The more often he feels without acting, the less he will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel.”
“When a man dreams his own dream, he is the sport of his dream; when Another gives it him, that Other is able to fulfill it.”
“For Leopardi, unhappy hedonist that he was, what is unknown is always more attractive than what is known; hope and imagination are the only consolations for the disappointments and sorrows of experience. Man therefore projects his desire into infinity and feels pleasure only when he is able to imagine that this pleasure has no end.”
