"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love." ─ Mother Teresa

A perfect quote for those of us with BPD: "A heart is a fragile thing. That's why we protect them so vigorously, give them away so rarely, and why it means so much when we do. Some hearts are more fragile than others. Purer, somehow. Like crystal in a world of glass, even the way they shatter is beautiful." ─ Unknown

For BPD specifically...

"I think people with borderline personality disorder are compassionate, beautiful souls who have been through too much trauma and have lost faith in themselves and forgotten what it's like to be happy." ─ Anonymous

"If you have borderline personality disorder, don't get discouraged. Many people with this disorder get better with treatment and can live satisfying lives." ─ Mayo Clinic

"It has been suggested that BPD symptoms can sometimes improve as time goes on or even disappear all together." ─ BPD World

A statement by Dr. Leland Heller: "Borderlines desperately want to be loved, but their condition at times makes them seem unlovable."

But consider this Swedish Proverb: "Love me when I least deserve it, because that's when I really need it."

Now, an interpretation (from Yahoo! Answers) regarding the above-mentioned proverb: "I think it means that when we are hurting on the inside we usually act badly on the outside and, therefore, don't deserve love. However, it is in our times of hurting that we need love most, in order to heal and grow."

P.S. Sorry for lack of aesthetics; I know this post looks a little dull. Perhaps I'll try posting image quotes and more in the future
. Loved the BPD quotes. Thanks.
