More quotations from Martha Beck

The really potent part of love is that it allows you to carry around beliefs about yourself that make you feel special, desirable, precious, innately good. Your lover couldn't have seen [these qualities] in you, even temporarily, if they weren't part of your essential being.

The power to bring me out of solitude—or to push me back into it—had never belonged to another person. It was mine and only mine.
