"A troubled life beats having no life at all"

-- Richard M. Cohen

“We have, as human beings, a storytelling problem. We're a bit too quick to come up with explanations for things we don't really have an explanation for.”
“Needs are never conflicting. When we say that, we are only saying that at the moment we aren't seeing how both needs can be met. That leaves an opening. When you think in the way I'm suggesting, you'll often find a way to get most needs met simultaneously.”
“An awake heart is like a sky that pours light.”
“LOVE should be the very heart of FAMILY life.”
“We must dare, and dare again, and go on daring.”
“I believe there is a reason such as autism, severe manic-depression, and schizophrenia remain in our gene pool even though there is much suffering as a result.”
“Where there is a woman there is magic.”
