“All people want to be safe and feel loved.”
“People tell their children there are no monsters in the world. They tell them that because they believe it, or they want the child to feel safe. But there are monsters, Luke, all the more frightening because they look like people.”
“People don't want to be loved, they want to feel loved.”
“For, without the knowledge of love, fear is all that remains, and we can never feel safe.”
“When I loved myself enough, I no longer needed things or people to make me feel safe.”
“I want to just be lazy and I want some of the people around me to be doing things, because that makes me feel comfortable and safe - and I want some of them to be doing nothing at all, because they can be graceful and companionable for me.”
