“To love someone as much as you love yourself, that is the ideal. Especially if that someone is your clone.
”

“...falling in love and trying to make someone fall in love with you and working to stay in love and forcing yourself to fall out of love with someone who will never love you back is much, much more exhausting than being alone.”

“My clones will look like me, and therefore I’ll treat them like myself—starting with spending all their hard-earned money. You can’t love someone else if you can’t first love yourself.”

“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

“No matter how much someone else loves you or you love other people, if you don’t love yourself then it can never be enough.”

“To see someone you love in so much pain—especially emotional pain that can’t be remedied—was the worst form of torture.”
