“Life is full of grief, to exactly the degree we allow ourselves to love other people.”

“The world is full of grief - to the exact degree we allow ourselves to love other people. (Mazer Rackham)”

“Oblivion is full of people who allow the opinions of others to overrule their belief in themselves.”

“We will discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own and other's people's models, learn to be ourselves and allow our natural channel to open.”

“We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don't even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It's time to put an end to this. It's time for us to let ourselves be loved.”

“No matter how qualified or deserving we are, we will never reach a better life until we can imagine it for ourselves and allow ourselves to have it.”
