If you think you can half - heartedly love someone, there is no love. it is either one hundred percent or zero.

If two people come together, it should be a sharing of joy, not extracting joy from each other.

If you want your relationship to work, constantly remind yourself that the other is more significant than you.

The beauty of motherhood is not in reproduction but in inclusion – to experience another life as a part of yourself.

To be committed to each other beyond success and failure, health and ill-health, life and death – that’s what makes you a family.
