“When you love, dear girl, you give another the power to hurt you. If you love deeply enough, you give another the power to destroy you.”
“When you give another person the power to define you, then you also give them the power to control you.”
“Love is when you give someone else the power to destroy you, and you trust them not to do it.”
“Love is giving someone the power to completely destroy you, and hoping that they won’t”
“When you love another deeply, you gain strength. When you receive anothers deep love, you gain courage”
“What you feel about another person, what you think or say about another person, what you do to another person – you do to you. Give judgment and criticism and you give it to yourself. Give love and appreciation to another person or anything, and you give it to yourself.”
