Quote by Gabor Maté

“What doesn't develop in one area will overdevelop in another, if the kid has the brains for it. Barbara develops a huge intellect ion order to feel comfortable. I believe that's because you were not able to give her the emotional sustenance that she needed when she was small.”

Instead, we should welcome despair in our lives with open arms. For it makes us who we are. It makes us complete.”

People can see, hear or write the words but not the feelings which come only when the speakers and listeners are connected with the bond of a common faith. Without faith, no effective communication is possible.”
