We erroneously believe that being a perpetual emotional flatline is better than experiencing the highs and the lows of living.”

“What really frightens and dismays us is not external events themselves, but the way in which we think about them. It is not things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance.”

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
