![]() "Rarely do members of the same family grow up in the same house." ![]() "We teach best what we most need to learn." "Argue for your limitations and sure enough they're yours." Probably my all time favorite. I have seen quotes from this book appear in many locations and use many of them myself when working with students. That always surprised me because I felt that most of the ideas contained here were quite Christ like. I remember that some factions of the Christian right were outraged that the book referred to a Messiah other than Jesus. The fact that the author kind of went a bit off the deep end does not bother me (although it did for a while!) I still believe the ideas contained here are timeless and profound. Not because the writing was so great but the thoughts contained in it were so close to what I was feeling as a 19 year old away from home and on my own for the first time. ![]() I believe this book moved me more than any other before or since. ![]()

She craves male companionship to help her work the place, ``and it wouldn't hurt if he was cute as a cow's ear, either.''
