“We are doing ourselves no favors when we look to the crowd to tell us where we are.”
― Erin Loechner, Chasing Slow: Courage to Journey Off the Beaten Path

“Art and love are the same thing: It’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.”

“If you reveal everything, bare every feeling, ask for understanding, you lose something crucial to your sense of yourself. You need to know things that others don't know. It's what no one knows about you that allows you to know yourself.”

“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. A person who exists only for the sake of his loved one is not an independent entity, but a spiritual parasite. The love of a parasite is worth nothing.”
― Ayn Rand
