“Love yourself and never leave anyone the power to convince you otherwise.”

“There's just something obvious about emptiness, even when you try to convince yourself otherwise.”

“You should never ask anyone for anything. Never- and especially from those who are more powerful than yourself.”

“What you leave behind is the people you loved. You leave yourself in them.”

“And one more thing: you still believe that man can be good. If that weren't the case, you wouldn't have invented all this nonsense to convince yourself otherwise.”

“Never let anyone's opinion or perception of you convince you that you're someone you're not. Keep your head up.”

“If you never tell anyone the truth about yourself, eventually you start to forget.”

“I was a fool! Loving someone who doesn't love you is hell! Don't ever let anyone convince you that you can be happy with someone who doesn't love you.”

“If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself.”

“Life must be rich and full of loving--it's no good otherwise, no good at all, for anyone.”
