M. Scott Peck

It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.

Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

I’m only ever in two places – with you or on the way.

Love those you hate you.

Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.

I have simply found a way of loving through whatever absences or dejections have fallen like tree branches in my path.

They are different now than they were. My mother never had to say she was a queen to be one. I instinctively knew. So it makes sense now that I am sorely confused by the women who try to convince me with words.

It occurred to me that love, simply stated, is replacing the need to always be right with the need to be understanding.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

I’m not something to butter up and taste when you get bored.

My demons are begging me to open up my mouth.

Men make love more intensely at 20, but make love better, however, at 30.

Better to put your heart on the line, risk everything, and walk away with nothing than play it safe. Love is a lot of things, but ‘safe’ isn’t one of them.

We need to make love great again because black lives do matter, because all lives do matter.

Crack me open and get drunk on the contents of my spirit. Warning: consuming too much may have permanent effects.

They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill, what never dies. Nor can Spirits ever be divided that love and live in the same Divine Principle; the Root and Record of their Friendship. If Absence be not death, neither is theirs. Death is but Crossing the World, as Friends do the Seas; They live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is Omnipresent. In this Divine Glass, they see Face to Face; and their Converse is Free, as well as Pure. This is the Comfort of Friends, that though they may be said to Die, yet their Friendship and Society are, in the best Sense, ever present, because Immortal.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
