You are the only you ... You are the best you. You will always be the second best anyone else.

We don't love to be loved in return; we love to love.

To live in love is life's greatest challenge. It requires more sublety, flexibility, sensitivity, understanding, acceptance, tolerance, knowledge and strength than any other human endeavor.

The oppposite of Love is not Hate - it's apathy.

Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.

But man has other needs as well: emotional needs. These, too, are few, but every bit as important as his physical requirements, yet not so simple. If they aren't met, they can be as devastating as physical hunger, as uncomfortable as a lack of shelter, as incapacitating as thirst. The frustration, isolation and anxiety brought about by unmet emotional needs can, like physical privation, produce death or a degree of living death - neurosis and psychosis.

Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
