“To say "I love you" one must know first how to say the "I".”

“To say "I love you" one must first be able to say the "I”

“To say ‘I love you’ one must first know how to say the ‘I.’ The meaning of the ‘I’ is an independent, self-sufficient entity that does not exist for the sake of any other person. A person who exists only for the sake of his loved one is not an independent entity, but a spiritual parasite. The love of a parasite is worth nothing.”

“You know how they say you have to first love yourself before you love another? I did. I didn't like it. I'm WAY too high maintenance.”

“I know they say that first love is the sweetest, but that first cut is the deepest”

“I know how you are with your words, and, Will- I love all of them. Every word you say. The silly ones, the mad ones, the beautiful ones, and the ones that are only for me. I love them, and I love you." - Tessa Gray”
