QUOTES SAMPLES: "The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance." "To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float." "I owe my solitude to other people." "No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now." "Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command." "Unless one is able to live fully in the present, the future is a hoax."
