“Be what you are. No one who really loves you will stop”

“The more you try to crush your true nature, the more it will control you. Be what you are. No one who really loves you will stop.”

“Do you think it's possible to do something so bad, even if you didn't mean to do it, that you can never come back from it? That no one can forgive you?"Luke looked at him for a long, silent moment. Then he said, "Think of someone you love, Simon. Really love. Is there anything they could ever do that would mean you would stop loving them?”

“I fell in love with you," he said, "because you were one of the bravest people I've ever known. So how could I ask you to stop being brave just because I loved you?”

“And maybe you should stop pitying yourself,” he said. “Most people are lucky to have even one great love in their life. You have found two.”

“What you're blaming yourself for is being who you are. And that's no one's fault and nothing you can change.”

“If no one cares for you at all, do you even really exist?”
