“I'd like to personally thank the audience in San Diego for your understanding and the respect you displayed last night. I will make it up to you.”
Nine Inch Nails
“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
“When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman.”
Joss Whedon
“They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”
William Shakespeare
“When people do not respect us we are sharply offended; yet in his private heart no man much respects himself”
Mark Twain
“Never violate the sacredness of your individual self-respect.”
Theophile Gautier
