I had used eclectic therapy and behavior therapy on myself at the age of 19 to get over my fear of public speaking and of approaching young women in public.

Albert Ellis

I often say that censorship is always a cause for celebration. It is always an opportunity because it reveals fear of reform. It means that the power position is so weak that you have got to care what people think.

W. H. Auden

Paulo Coelho

Some few there must be in every age and every land of whom life claims nothing very insistently save that they write perfectly of beautiful happenings.
