“Finally, if you are aware that no one else can make you happy, and that happiness is the result of love coming out of you, this becomes the greatest mastery of the Toltec, the Mastery of Love.”
― Miguel Ruiz, The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship: A Toltec Wisdom Book

“Once you decide to be a couple, you are there to serve the one you love, the one you choose. You are there to serve your love to your lover, to be each other’s servant. In every kiss, in every touch, you feel you are each there to please the one you love, without expecting anything back. More than sex, it’s about being together. The sex becomes wonderful also, but it’s completely different. Sex becomes a communion; sex becomes a complete surrendering, a dance, an art, a supreme expression of beauty. You can make an agreement that says, “I like you; you are wonderful and you make me feel so good. I’ll bring the flowers, you bring the soft music. We’ll dance, and we’ll both go to the clouds.” It’s beautiful, it’s wonderful, it’s romantic. It’s no longer a war of control; it’s about service. But you can only do that when the love you have for yourself is very strong. 6”

“When you pretend to be what you are not, you are always going to fail.”
― Don Miguel Ruiz, The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship

“You must forgive those who hurt you, even if whatever they did to you is unforgivable in your mind. You will forgive them not because they deserve to be forgiven, but because you don't want to suffer and hurt yourself every time you remember what they did to you. It doesn't matter what others did to you, you are going to forgive them because you don't want to feel sick all the time. Forgiveness is for your own mental healing. You will forgive because you feel compassion for yourself. Forgiveness is an act of self-love.”
