“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.”

“A part of kindness consists in loving people

 more than they deserve.”

Don't take her kindness for granted,

Be kind to everyone.

who didn't try.
