“Nobody’s going to save you. No one’s going to cut you down, cut the thorns thick around you. No one’s going to storm the castle walls nor kiss awake your birth, climb down your hair, nor mount you onto the white steed. There is no one who will feed the yearning. Face it.

People who have spent all day learning how to sell themselves and to manipulate others are in no position to form lasting friendships or intimate relationships...

Their need for meaning is just as intense as their need for economic security.”
― Michael Lerner

“No-one ever built themselves up by tearing down another.”
