„You sacrifice yourself, your wealth torments you,You give away yourself,You don’t take care of yourself, you don’t love yourself;Great agony always compels you,The agony of an overflowing barn, an overabundant heart;But no one thanks you any longer …“

— Friedrich Nietzsche

„Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish. If you are not capable of generating that kind of energy toward yourself — if you are not capable of taking care of yourself, of nourishing yourself, of protecting yourself — it is very difficult to take care of another person.“
— Thich Nhat Hanh
„The most important person you can ever talk to is yourself, so be careful what you say.The most important person that you will evaluate is yourself, so be careful what you think.The most important person you will love is yourself, so be careful what you do.“
— John C. Maxwell
„And I would do it again. I love you, Jace Wayland-Herondale-Lightwood-whatever you want to call yourself. I don't care. I love you and I will always love you, and pretending it could be any other ways is just a waste of time.“
— Cassandra Clare
