“Just remember that it's not your responsibility to fix a broken man. It's not worth your time, your effort, your love or your tears. If he's not willing to fix himself for you, there's nothing left to do but walk away and move behind his selfish, immature, and ultimately abusive behavior. Not all men are broken, but you have to believe you deserve better. Expect better and you'll receive better, it's that simple.”
― Pierre Alex Jeanty, Unspoken Feelings of a Gentleman

“Some men are afraid of committing because they see themselves in no shape to build a future with someone else. Some are insecure about where they are in life and how far they are from their goals. They don’t want to bring a struggle to the table. They want to be stable and comfortable in life first. They don’t want to feel as if they aren’t man enough. They want to be able to protect and provide without bringing the woman they love into failure with them. To the man stuck in that situation: She loves you, she wants you. The most valuable thing you can give a woman whose heart belongs to you is your time and affection. You are getting in your own way, not your financial status or failures.”
― Pierre Alex Jeanty, Unspoken Feelings of a Gentleman

“The commitment issues in me live not because I am still finding enjoyment in messing around with other women. It’s because the fear of not being man enough reigns in me.”
― Pierre Alex Jeanty, Unspoken Feelings of a Gentleman

“We do not need to get rid of the ego—this unchanging, solid, and unhealthy sense of self—because it never existed in the first place.”
― Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, In Love with the World: A Monk's Journey Through the Bardos of Living and Dying
