“To say ‘I love you’ one must first know how to say the ‘I.’ The meaning of the ‘I’ is an independent, self-sufficient entity that does not exist for the sake of any other person.

― Erin Loechner, Chasing Slow: Courage to Journey Off the Beaten Path

“You can disagree with another person's opinions. You can disagree with their doctrines. You can't disagree with their experience.”
