“It's a privilege to love someone, to truly love them; and while it's paradisaical if she or he loves you back, it's unfair to demand or expect reciprocity.

Love is the only game in which we win even when we lose.”
― Tom Robbins, Tibetan Peach Pie

“Either you deal with what is the reality, or you can be sure that the reality is going to deal with you.”
