“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness’s of other people. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”

— Carl Jung

“Love is not, ‘You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.’ It’s not fifty-fifty. It’s not I owe you, you owe me. It’s always ever been, ‘I love you. Come hell or high water, I’ve laid my life down for you.’ Anything else isn’t ‘I love you,’ it’s only, 'I need you for what you can do for me and for how you make me feel.’”
