“No one can truly say “Yes” to something, be it an experience or another person’s offer of love, if he cannot truly say “No”. No one can wholeheartedly accept and welcome love if he does not have an unquestioned right to refuse it. No one can fully and freely give love if he does not have the unquestioned right to withhold it.”
