A Quote by Mother Teresa
I feel called to help individuals, to love each human being. I never think in terms of crowds in general but in terms of persons. Were I to think about crowds, I would never begin anything.

I don't really know if I was ever capable of love, but after the '60s I never thought in terms of 'love' again.

And the greatest adventure is not going to the moon - the greatest adventure is going to your own innermost core.
Certainly if I were to think in terms of a field that would have required a different mode of education, I think I would have leaned in the direction of being a therapist.
