“Are you anxious that a fortune teller might disclose things you'd rather not know? I assure you that if you already practice the valuable habit of self-analysis, their revelations won't come as a surprise to you in the least. If the thought still sends shivers down your spine, it indicates that you may not fully know yourself, and what is being offered to you is an invaluable opportunity to gain insight and deeper self-awareness.”

“Of course you want someone special to love you. A majority of the people who write to me inquire about how they can get the same thing... Unique as every letter is, the point each writer reaches is the same: I want love and I'm afraid I'll never get it. It's hard to answer those letters because I'm an advice columnist, not a fortune-teller. I have words instead of a crystal ball. I can't say when you'll get love or how you'll find it or even promise that you will. I can only say you are worthy of it and that it's never too much to ask for it.”

“He who asks fortune-tellers the future unwittingly forfeits an inner intimation of coming events that is a thousand times more exact than anything they may say. He is impelled by inertia, rather than curiosity, and nothing is more unlike the submissive apathy with which he hears his fate revealed than the alert dexterity with which the man of courage lays hands on the future.”
