I feel that adolescence has served its purpose when a person arrives at adulthood with a strong sense of self-esteem, the ability to relate intimately, to communicate congruently, to take responsibility, and to take risks. The end of adolescence is the beginning of adulthood. What hasn't been finished then will have to be finished later.
Virginia Satir

Virginia Satir
I think if I have one message, one thing before I die that most of the world would know, it would be that the event does not determine how to respond to the event. That is a purely personal matter. The way in which we respond will direct and influence the event more than the event itself.
Virginia Satir

Virginia Satir
As a therapist, I am a companion. I try to help people tune into their own wisdom.
Virginia Satir
You have learned what you have learned very well. It has helped you survive.
