A person who increases your self belief, reduces your self reliance.

No one can bind you to the life you live but lethargy and love

Things that are needed to be happy, - we all have them - we don't care about them

A purposeless life is like a tap opened to the drain.

My mother used to tell me that when push comes to shove, you always know who to turn to. That being a family isn't a social construct but an instinct.

To be loved for what one is, is the greatest exception. The great majority love in others only what they lend him, their own selves, their version of him.
