When you are suffering, you become more understanding about yourself, but also about other people's sufferings too. That's the first step to understand somebody is to understand their sufferings. So then love follows.

No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him.

I don't need anyone to rectify my existence. The most profound relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves.

I now know that things I always thought I could depend on can crash in an instant. Because of the love that I have been shown, I now know what it means to be 'beloved.' I now know that no breath is to be taken for granted.

I see pictures of myself and I always knew that what I was feeling didn't look like that guy in the pictures.

It's a complicated thing, knowing how much pain my father caused in my life and the lives of others whom I love, yet still holding love for him in my heart. No matter what he did, he was my father. He helped create the person I am.

It's afterwards you realize that the feeling of happiness you had with a man didn't necessarily prove that you loved him.

It's possible to love a human being if you don't know them too well.

Whoever comes to me finds me a mirror to whatever is in his heart. Thus, I try to help him to see qualities in himself that he needs to overcome.

I never loved another person the way I loved myself.
