From "The Mister Rogers No One Saw", a comment by Fred Rogers when author Jeanne Marie Laskas thanks him for all he has taught her — and, with archetypal insight, Mister Rogers reflects the light back onto her:
| It's so very hard, receiving. When you give something, you're in much greater control. But when you receive something, you're so vulnerable. I think the greatest gift you can ever give is an honest receiving of what a person has to offer. |
