Reclaiming the parts of ourselves that we have relegated to the shadow is the most reliable path to actualizing all of our human potential.

When you make peace with yourself, the world will mirror back that same level of peace.

Unforgiveness is the poison you drink every day hoping that the other person will die.

Whatever we refuse to recognize about ourselves has a way of rearing its head and making itself known when we least expect it.

Embracing our dark side gives us a new found freedom to be with the darkness in others. For when I can love all of me, I will love all of you.

The greatest act of courage is to be and to ownall of who you are - without apology, without excuses, without masks to cover the truth of who you are.

If you admire greatness in another human being, it is your own greatness you are seeing.

It is time to search out your uniqueness, applaud and acknowledge yourself, and let your own light shine.

Notice what happens when you choose to embrace rather than reject each feeling that arises within you today.

Right now, there is a stronger, more vibrant, more inspired version of you that is wanting and waiting to emerge.

Do not wait another day to become fully engaged in your life, to learn to love and to forgive, and to live with greater purpose & meaning.

Get acquainted with your shadow, or find yourself surprised when a crisis emerges.

Can anything be called an achievement if it does not simultaneously enhance the life of someone other than the one who has done the achieving?

I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that's different than you imagine it.

In art the Greeks were the children of the Egyptians. The day may yet come when we shall do justice to the high powers of that mysterious and imaginative people.

The fact of the matter is that many children see. . . . Most of those who see are considered to be oddballs and every effort is made to correct them.

It's the timing. I don't have to do it [drugs] all the time.

You can sometimes find something good on the other side of doing something very, very painful.

I try to see my films just once. It's like a dream you've been through when it's been intense, and you just have to go through it once more just to make sure you've had it.

I always take time for somebody who wants to talk to me.

Doubt, it seems to me, is the central condition of a human being in the twentieth century.
