"Find your center and stay there..."

-- Barbara Ann Kipfer

“Our ego ideal is precious to us because it repairs a loss of our earlier childhood, the loss of our image of self as perfect and whole, the loss of a major portion of our infantile, limitless, ain't-I-wonderful narcissism which we had to give up in the face of compelling reality. Modified and reshaped into ethical goals and moral standards and a vision of what at our finest we might be, our dream of perfection lives on--our lost narcissism lives on--in our ego ideal.”
“You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply. I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie.”

“Love is not about sex, going on fancy dates, or showing off. It's about being with a person who makes you happy in a way nobody else can.”
“Every debt is ultimately paid, if not by the debtor, then eventually by the creditor.”
