Fritz Perls
I do my thing and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.
Fritz Perls

Fritz Perls
To mature means to take responsibility for your life, to be on your own.
Fritz Perls
The person most in control is the person who can give up control.
