“You must love someone without expecting anything in return; otherwise it’s not truly love. You must respect someone without expecting anything in return; otherwise you don’t truly respect him. You must speak honestly without expecting a pat on the back or a high-five or a gold star next to your name; otherwise you aren’t truly being honest.”
― Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope

“Freedom itself demands discomfort.”
― Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope

“Because pain is the universal constant of life, the opportunities to grow from that pain are constant in life. All that is required is that we don't numb it, that we don't look away. All that is required is that we engage it and find the value and meaning in it.”
― Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope

“An adult will love freely without expecting anything in return because an adult understands that that is the only thing that can make love real. An adult will give without seeking anything in return, because to do so defeats the purpose of a gift in the first place.”
― Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope
