“From the Soul using the body as an instrument, it does not follow that the Soul must share the body’s experiences: a man does not himself feel all the experiences of the tools with which he is working.”

Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being.

Fear must be entirely banished. The purified soul will fear nothing.

You can only apprehend the Infinite by a faculty that is superior to reason.

Until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendour of virtue, until you shall see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine.

When we look outside of that on which we depend we ignore our unity; looking outward we see many faces; look inward and all is one head.

Pleasure and distress, fear and courage, desire and aversion, where have these affections and experiences their seat?

A dogma recognized throughout antiquity… (that) the soul expiates its sins in the darkness of the infernal regions and… afterwards… passes into new bodies, there to undergo new trials.

Withdraw into yourself and look.

Most people feel best about themselves when they have given their very best.

The live audience is a blind date. The camera is a hungry lover. One wants to be wined and dined and seduced and then decide where the evening will go.

If you sit back & spend too much time feeling good about what you did in the past, you’re going to come up short next time

Still, I never really mind bad service in a restaurant. It makes me feel better about not leaving a tip.

I feel like it’s a skill that’s passable, but writing… writing is the worst. That’s what I’m doing right now, it’s just the hardest thing that you’ll ever do.

The beauty of coaching is that you are working with human beings. I feel very comfortable with my staff that we can make a difference, that we can make a difference on the ice.

I feel like I’m a very good role model for women.
