Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
“We may be up against a stone wall, but we don't have to bloody our heads against it unless we choose to.”
