You have to be vulnerable and open to experience the new, as nothing else gonna substitute it..

Being an open and vulnerable doesn't mean you are weak..

only someone who is ready for everything, who doesn't exclude any experience, even the most incomprehensible, will live the relationship with another person as something alive and will himself sound the depths of his own being.

Work is a substitute religious experience for many workaholics.

The best substitute for experience is being sixteen.

One should show one's scars, not hide them.
