One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.

When one is out of touch with oneself, one cannot touch others.

I don’t see why I am always asking for private, individual, selfish miracles when every year there are miracles like white dogwood.

The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere.

Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.

It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

Is it not possible that middle age can be looked upon as a period of second flowering, second growth, even a kind of second adolescence?

It isn’t for the moment you are struck that you need courage but for the long uphill climb back to sanity and faith and security.

There is no sin punished more implacably by nature than the sin of resistance to change.

To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness, and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
