Quotes by bell hooks

When we work with love we renew the spirit; that renewal is an act of self-love, it nurtures our growth.

Most of us did not learn when we were young that our capacity to be self-loving would be shaped by the work we do and whether that work enhances our well-being.

Spirituality and spiritual life give us the strength to love.

Self-love is the foundation of our loving practice. Without it our other efforts to love fail. Giving ourselves love we provide our inner being with the opportunity to have the unconditional love we may have always longed to receive from someone else.
