“The harsh reality is the emotional wear and tear between human beings who are born in the same world, raised in different social states and collide when they meet.”

“In the ancient world women were treated as second-class individuals. When they are equally or more intelligent than men and the lungs of life.”

“The misfortune of any people is the lack of faith, in God, and excessive faith, in the president who lies to them in exchange for crumbs.”

“Progressive philosophy: women who say they are men, men who say they are women, others who say they are men and women at the same time, others who say they are neither men nor women, and others who say they are animals, "to eliminate the human race" and head straight for extinction.”

“The salient stressors in the lives of most human beings today — at least in the industrialized world — are emotional. Just like laboratory animals unable to escape, people find themselves trapped in lifestyles and emotional patterns inimical to their health. The higher the level of economic development, it seems, the more anaesthetized we have become to our emotional realities. We no longer sense what is happening in our bodies and cannot therefore act in self-preserving ways. The physiology of stress eats away at our bodies not because it has outlived its usefulness but because we may no longer have the competence to recognize its signals.”
