Marriage should liberate, not incarcerate. Real love shouldn’t limit a person’s potential, it should expand it.

Life is not trying to entertain us, it’s trying to teach us.

Our joy in life is inexorably determined by the degree to which we love.

No key, no tool, no resource is more liberating than love.

Love without conditions.
