“Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way.”

“Love is not liking somebody. Anyone can do that. Love is loving things that sometimes you don't like.”

“If you don't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”

“However much you love somebody, you should always keep a part of yourself to yourself. Never give it all. You can never be yourself otherwise.”

“sometimes what you miss the most is the way a loved one made you feel about yourself.”

“If you want to get close to somebody, you have to tell him or her something intimate about yourself. They'll tell you something intimate in return, and if you keep this going, maybe you'll end up in love.”

“Perhaps watching someone you love suffer can teach you even more than suffering yourself can.”

“Sometimes you have to give yourself to somebody in order to see who you are. Sometimes you have to unravel things to get to the core”

“…deep-diving love, a love that excavates you. It’s something you have to have before you die in order to have lived.”

“Sometimes you know in your heart you love someone, but you have to go away before your head can figure it out.”
