Value yourself. The only people who appreciate a doormat are people with dirty shoes.

Love is not some complex, mystical abstraction. It is something accessible and human that we learn through our everyday experience, as often at times of failure as in moments of ecstasy.

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.

Everybody is teaching Everybody to Love at every moment.

The only thing of value we can give kids is what we are, not what we have.

Experience seems to convince us that only fools trust, that only fools believe and accept all things. If this is true, then love is most foolish. For if it is not founded on trust, belief and acceptance, it's not love.

If we wish to free ourselves from enslavement, we must choose freedom and the responsibility this entails.
