"To the extent to which you know yourself,
and we are all more alike than different,
you can know others. When you love yourself,
you will love others. And to the depth and extent
to which you can love yourself,
only to that depth and extent will you be able to love others."
~Leo Buscaglia (1924-1998)
“Do not wait for life. Do not long for it.
Be aware, always and at every moment,
that the miracle is in the here and now.”
- Marcel Proust
