Quotes to Ponder:

“I don’t trust people who don’t love themselves and tell me ‘I love you.’ … There is an African saying which is: ‘Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.” — Maya Angelou

“Life is a spark between two identical voids, the darkness before birth and the one after death.” — Irvin Yalom

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.” — Pema Chodron “

“It is impossible to speak in such a way that you cannot be misunderstood.” — Karl Popper

“Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others.” — Pablo Picasso
