how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you

fall in love with your solitude

Being that my parents and I were immigrants to Canada, I didn't have the most lavish life growing up.

I have always been a fan of Salvador Dali, but Amrita Sher-Gil, who was an Indian-Hungarian painter, is another favourite. She was painting Indian women, and, growing up here, I'd never seen anyone paint Indian women, so that was really incredible to see a painting of someone who looks like you. I think that has a lot of impact on you.

I saw what was wonderful about human companionship. Before that, I was quite content to be alone, to be a solitary wandering person, and I thought I always would be. Love changed that.

I never got to know my grandparents, and I am envious of my friends who have a special relationship with theirs.

One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.

I definitely want to embrace the relationships I have with the people I love.
