The Road Less Traveled, 25th Anniversary Edition: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values, and Spiritual Growth Quotes

“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.”

“I define love thus: The will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.”

“When we avoid the legitimate suffering that results from dealing with problems, we also avoid the growth that problems demand from us.”

“Nirvana or lasting enlightenment or true spiritual growth can be achieved only through persistent exercise of real love.”
