If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.
"What's terrible is to pretend that the second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better."
Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.
