“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

“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.”
― Josh Billings

“He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
― Lao Tzu
