“I have learned to love me, and now I am free to love everyone else.”
“I am free, you see," she said, "to love or to withhold love. Love and dependence need no longer be the same thing to me. I am free to love. That is why I love you, and it is the way I love you.”
“I have learned that I am enough...I have learned that no one else canLOVE ME - FOR ME.”
“I am a stranger, learning to love the strangers around me”
“Nothing else loves me, nor ever will. Not even - especially - me. I know what I am and that's not a thing to love.”
“I think now that being free is not being powerful or rich or well regarded or without obligation but being able to love. To love someone else enough to forget about yourself even for one moment is to be free.”
