“Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

“To love everyone unconditionally does not mean to give everyone your unconditional time. Sometimes, to love completely, we must never see someone again. This, too, is love. This is giving someone the freedom to exist and be happy, even if it must be without you.”
― Vironika Tugaleva

“A healer is someone who seeks to be the light that she wishes she had in her darkest moments.”
― Vironika Tugaleva, The Love Mindset: An Unconventional Guide to Healing and Happiness

“This is the internal tragedy of love. If love is successful, if our love is returned and develops into a relationship, the person we are with must turn out to be other than we imagined them to be. Love craves closeness, and closeness always brings us face to face with something other than we expected.”
― John Armstrong, Conditions of Love: The Philosophy of Intimacy
