“The self cannot survive without love, and the self, starved of love, dies. The absence of self-love is shame, "just as cold is the absence of warmth." Disgrace obscuring the son... Franciscan Richard Rohr writes that "the Lord comes to us disguised as ourselves.”
Gregory Boyle, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion

Alan Arkin
“That's what we're all doing, all the time, whether we know it or not. Whether we like it or not. Creating something on the spur of the moment with the materials at hand. We might just as well let the res tof it go, join the party, and dance our hearts out.”
Alan Arkin, An Improvised Life: A Memoir

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a covenant between equals. Al Sharpton always says, "We're all created equal, but we don't all end up equal.”
Gregory Boyle, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion

“It's my first day teaching," I say to her, "Give me some advice."

"Two things," she says, "One: know all their names by tomorrow. Two: It's more important that they know you than that they know what you know.”
Gregory Boyle, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion

W.C. Fields
“You can fool some of the people some of the time -- and that's enough to make a decent living.”
W.C. Fields
