“Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.”

“Becoming your own friend means taking care of yourself the way you would someone that you love. And that’s hard. But it is necessary.”

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

“Sometimes, it feels like time is malleable, like the past refuses to stay put and you end up dragging it around with you whether you like it or not. Other times, it feels about as ancient and far away as those castles. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.

There's a space between forgetting and moving on, and it's not easy to find.”
― Jennifer E. Smith, Windfall
