Emily Carr

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
― Sharon Salzberg
