“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.”

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”

“We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.”

“The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.”
