"I am a person. You are a person. Without you I am not a person, for only through you is language made possible and only through language is thought made possible, and only through thought is humanness made possible. You have made me important. Therefore, I am important and you are important. If I devalue you, I devalue myself. This is the rationale of the position I'M OK - YOU'RE OK."
- Thomas A. Harris, I'm Ok, You're Ok: A practical guide to Transactional Analysis
