“If you accept others as equals, you embrace them unconditionally, now and forever. But if you let them know that you tolerate them, you suggest in the same breath that they are actually an inconvenience, like a nagging pain or an unpleasant odour you are willing to disregard.”
“Sometimes, there are unpleasant things happen to you and you can't do anything except letting them happen and trying to accept them as they exactly are !!”
“You need other people, Madeline. There's a great freedom in knowing that. And accepting that. And letting people in. Letting them help you.”
“To love someone enough to let them go, you had to let them go forever or you did not love them that much.”
“When you find someone you want to spend forever with you, you don't let them go, whether forever turns out to be a day or a year of fifty years. Don't let the fear of losing them keep you from loving them.”
“People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be - not what you nag them to be.”
