Don Miguel Ruiz, The Mastery of Love:
“Everyone has a price, and Life respects that price. But this price is not measured in money or gold; it is measured in love. More precisely, it is measured in love for oneself.
How much you love yourself – that is your price – and Life respects that price. When you love yourself, your price is very high, which means that your tolerance for self-abuse is very low. It is low because you respect yourself. You like yourself as you are, and this raises your price. If you do not like the things that are connected with you, your price goes down.”
