Never love anybody who treats you like you’re ordinary.
— Oscar Wilde (via quote-book)
To love at all is to be vulnerable.
— C.S. Lewis (via swanfeather songs)
Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.
— Marc Hack (via blua)
Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as an escape.
— Bell Hooks (via mishproductions)
