“The moment you begin to consider having more than someone else, you begin to fear you might end up with less than someone else.”

“When you get old you begin to understand that no one talks unless someone listens, and no one knows nuthin' less somebody else can understand.”

“If you carry someone else's fears and live by someone else's values, you may find that you have lived their lives.”

“Whatever you want, at any moment, someone else is getting it. Whatever you have, someone else is longing for.”

“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”

“There's no need to be in someone else's shoe. Just appreciate what you have and be thankful. That's more than enough”
