“You do not deserve love regardless of the suffering you
have endured. You do not deserve love because somebody did you wrong. You do
not deserve love just because you want it. You can only earn- by practice and
careful contemplation- the right to express it and you have to learn how to
accept it. Which is to say you have to earn God… love is not a gift. It is a
diploma. A diploma conferring certain privileges: the privilege of expressing
love and the privilege of receiving it.” Paradise, Toni Morrison.
