“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
Carl Rogers
“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”
Stacey Charter
“We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy”
Walter Anderson
“The way of paradoxes is the way of truth.”
Oscar Wilde
“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”
Mother Teresa
“The most exquisite paradox… as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible.”
Ram Dass
“Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life”
