More on Authenticity
“Nothing is more difficult to accomplish than changing outward actions without changing inward feelings.”
“Your time on this earth is limited, don’t live someone else's life, live by your vision.”
“When something feels right, that means it is right for you. Pay attention to your authentic feelings, and follow where they lead.”
More on Human Connection
“We love to hear some men speak, though we hear not what they say; the very air they breathe is rich and perfumed, and the sound of their voices falls on the ear like the rustling of leaves or the crackling of the fire. They stand many deep.”
“Technology & technicians, you can always buy with money; but the wealthiest person must build relationships.”
“Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate because they are separated.”
