“Perhaps all the questions we ask of love, to measure, test, probe, and save it, have the additional effect of cutting it short. Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved, that is, we demand something (love) from our partner instead of delivering ourselves up to him demand-free and asking for nothing but his company.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“Imagine how much you’ve got compared to all the kids in the world getting blown up or starved, and the good you could do if you spent half a second thinking about it.

Suddenly it’s all the stuff you’ve left undone.
All the kindness you could’ve given.
All the excuses you gave instead.
Imagine that for a minute.
Imagine what it means.”
― Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue

“Re-examine all that you have been told... Dismiss that which insults your soul.”
― Walt Whitman

“Never strive to be like someone else, you can only accomplish their greatest achievement. Be the best you that you can be and there is no limit to how far you can go.”
