"This book has made me realize how profoundly unhappy I am. I read the text defensively. He says that the nature of humans is gentle, that we are compassionate creatures. Not only do I disagree, but I am personally outraged at this claim. I am so bitter that I argue with the Dalai Lama. I can’t even look at his face on the cover. I look away, pull my security blanket, my unhappiness, over my eyes." — Apr 15, 2021 01:08PM

“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them”
