Quotes About Boundaries

I had friends - and I had situations - where you spend so much time hanging out with your girlfriend that you lose touch with other people. You only really have this one person - and when that person starts to let go, you almost feel like you need to clamp on even harder, you know?
~ Joe Keery
The idea that humanity is divided into these separate and distinct and disparate groups with clear boundaries has been disproven by science a long time ago, decades ago. Humanity really is more of a continuum, and that people belong on the same continuum and there are no clear breaks between these so-called races.
~ Alex Tizon
I've made mistakes. Like, bringing people to your level who don't deserve to be there. They're trying to bite off your so-called fame, make a name off of you. I think I did a lot of that - allowed people to be relevant in my life who really aren't relevant to me at all.
~ Odell Beckham, Jr.

Bizim en büyük bildiÄŸimiz ÅŸeyleri, doÄŸan?n o konudaki son s?n?rlar? sayar?z.
~ Michel de Montaigne
El mundo vive engañado: con facilidad mayor se camina por los bordes, donde la extremidad sirve de límite, parada y guía, que por la senda de en medio, amplia y abierta; es más cómodo proceder conforme al arte que según la naturaleza, pero también es menos noble y menos recomendable.
~ Michel de Montaigne
A simple fuck is one thing, but let a man sleep with you just once and he thinks he can bring his dog and his pigeons.
~ Michel Faber
The opulence of Bedford Square and the British Museum may be only a few hundred yards away, but New Oxford Street runs between there and here like a river too wide to swim, and you are on the wrong side.
~ Michel Faber
marginile unei c?rÅ£i nu sunt niciodat? clar ÅŸi riguros trasate: dincolo de titlu, de primele rânduri ÅŸi de punctul final, mai presus de configuraÅ£ia sa intern? ÅŸi de forma care îi confer? autonomie, ea se afl? prins? într-un sistem de trimiteri la alte c?rÅ£i, la alte texte, la alte fraze: este un nod într-o reÅ£ea.
~ Michel Foucault
Todo individuo considera que los límites de su propia visión son los límites del mundo. ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER
~ Michio Kaku
In your whole life nobody has ever abused you more than you have abused yourself. And the limit of your self-abuse is exactly the limit that you will tolerate from someone else. If someone abuses you a little more than you abuse yourself, you will probably walk away from that person. But if someone abuses you a little less than you abuse yourself, you will probably stay in the relationship and tolerate it endlessly.
~ Miguel Ruiz
It doesn't matter how much you love someone, you are never going to be what that person wants you to be.
~ Miguel Ruiz
Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves.
~ Miguel Ruiz
If someone is not treating you with love and respect, it is a gift if they walk away from you.
~ Miguel Ruiz
We have to be what we are, so we don't have to present a false image. If you love me the way I am, "Okay, take me." If you don't love me the way I am, "Okay, bye-bye. Find someone else." It may sound harsh, but this kind of communication means the personal agreements we make with others are clear and impeccable.
~ Miguel Ruiz
I respect you when I don't try to tell you how to live your life, how to dress, how to walk, how to talk, how to do whatever you do in your kingdom.
~ Miguel Ruiz
Don't take anything personally because by taking things personally you set yourself up to suffer for nothing.
~ Miguel Ruiz
Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. All people live in their own dream, in their own mind; they are in a completely different world from the one we live in. When we take something personally, we make the assumption that they know what is in our world, and we try to impose our world on their world.
~ Miguel Ruiz
Love is based on respect. Fear doesn't respect anything, including itself. If I feel sorry for you, it means I don't respect you. You cannot make your own choices.
~ Miguel Ruiz
The limit of your self-abuse is the limit you will tolerate from other people. If someone abuses you more than you abuse yourself, you walk away, you run, you escape. But if someone abuses you a little less than you abuse yourself, perhaps you stay longer. You still deserve that abuse.
~ Miguel Ruiz
If someone is not treating you with love and respect, it is a gift if they walk away from you. If that person doesn't walk away, you will surely endure many years of suffering with him or her. Walking away may hurt for a while, but your heart will eventually heal. Then you can choose what you really want. You will find that you don't need to trust others as much as you need to trust yourself to make the right choices.
~ Miguel Ruiz
You are going to love her and accept her with all of her garbage. You are going to respect her garbage. You are not in the relationship to clean your partner's garbage; she is going to clean her own. Even
