“The immature conscience is not its own master. It simply parrots the decisions of others. It does not make judgments of its own; it merely conforms to the judgments of others. That is not real freedom, and it makes true love impossible, for if we are to love truly and freely, we must be able to give something that is truly our own to another. If our heart does not belong to us, asks Merton, how can we give it to another?”

“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.”
― May Sarton

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
