• What I think it really means is: I'm a teacher. I am a teacher. I teach all the time, as you do and as all of you do-whether we know it or not, whether we take responsibility for it or not.

• Greed takes a person to the watering place but gets him back without letting him drink. It undertakes responsibility but does not fulfill it.

The destined share would reach him who does not approach it.

  Ali ibn Abi Talib

• When someone really hears you without passing judgment on you, without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mold you, it feels damn good. . . .

But if love struck him, he alone would have to take responsibility for the consequences.
