“What do I believe that I deserve in this life?”

“Believing you are worthy of love means that you believe I deserve to be treated well - with respect and dignity. I deserve to be cherished and adored by someone. I am worthy of an intimate and fulfilling relationship. I won't settle for less than I deserve. I will do whatever it takes to create that for myself.”

“There's the life we dream, the life we deserve, and the life we get. I'll take what I got over what I deserve any day.”

“I don't know if I have ever truly believed that everyone deserves love. But if I had to take it one moment further into those shadowed valleys of heartfull, I would admit that I do believe that love, deserves everyone.”

“I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.”

“I almost can't believe you won first place, because the painting deserves it so much, and people who deserve to win hardly ever do.”
