Mircea Eliade
“S-ar putea întâmpla fel de fel de miracole, continuase el fără s-o privească. Dar trebuie să te înveţe cineva cum să le priveşti, ca să ştii că sunt miracole. Altminteri, nici măcar nu le vezi. Treci pe lângă ele şi nu ştii că sunt miracole. Nu le vezi...”
Mircea Eliade, Noaptea de Sânziene

bell hooks
“One of the best guides to how to be self-loving is to give ourselves the love we are often dreaming about receiving from others. There was a time when I felt lousy about my over-forty body, saw myself as too fat, too this, or too that. Yet I fantasized about finding a lover who would give me the gift of being loved as I am. It is silly, isn't it, that I would dream of someone else offering to me the acceptance and affirmation I was withholding from myself. This was a moment when the maxim "You can never love anybody if you are unable to love yourself" made clear sense. And I add, "Do not expect to receive the love from someone else you do not give yourself.”
Bell Hooks, All About Love: New Visions

“I'm pore, I'm black, I may be ugly and can't cook, a voice say to everything listening. But I'm here.”
Alice Walker, The Color Purple

“Everything want to be loved. Us sing and dance and holler, just trying to be loved.”
