“To be in love is to see yourself as someone else sees you, it is to be in love with the falsified and exalted image of yourself. In love we are incapable of honor - the courageous act is no more than playing a part to an audience of two.”
“Other than the love of God; the greatest love is self love. You have to love yourself more than you love someone else in order to succeed in a prosperous life.”
“Love is brave and generous and above all it springs from honor. In order to love someone else, you must first be true to yourself. Love is not two people wanting or needing what the other can give.--Hester Latterly”
“When you care more if someone else lives than you do about yourself- is that what [love is]?”
“If you love yourself, someone will love you more”
“When you fall in love, you fall in love with yourself, when you kill yourself, you kill someone else.”
