"We accept the love we think we deserve."
I heard this really recently actually, when I was watching "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" (WHICH IS A WONDERFUL MOVIE AND EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH IT). I absolutely love it, because it is so utterly true. When I see people in terrible relationships, I have such a hard time wrapping my head around why they would stay with someone who makes them so unhappy or doesn't treat them right. Essentially it comes back to the individual...they don't think they're good enough to demand more out of a partner.
And it doesn't even have to be about romantic love. It applies to self-love too. If I have some sort of flaw and convince myself that flaw means I'm less of a person, I won't be able to fully love myself and who I am.
Great quote.
