"Arrogance is a way for a person to cover up shame. After years of arrogance, the arrogant person is so out of touch, she truly doesn't know who she is. This is one of the greatest tragedies of shame cover-ups: not only does the person hide from others, she also hides from herself."

“We may know that the work we continue to put off doing will be bad. Worse, however, is the work we never do. A work thatâ€™s finished is at least finished. It may be poor, but it exists, like the miserable plant in the lone flowerpot of my neighbour whoâ€™s crippled. That plant is her happiness, and sometimes itâ€™s even mine.

Thatâ€™s enough for me, or it isnâ€™t enough, but it serves some purpose, and so it is with all of life.”
