““What? ‘Borderline patients play games’? That what you said? Ernest, you’ll never be a real therapist if you think like that.

You can’t treat the label; you have to treat the person behind the label.”

“I’ve come to believe that the fear of death is always greatest in those who feel that they have not lived their life fully. A good working formula is: the more unlived life, or unrealized potential, the greater one’s death anxiety.”
