John RuskinIt is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.
About This Quote
Every person has something they are proud of. It could be their intelligence, their family, their job, or whatever it is that makes them unique. Pride is something that can be dangerous when it gets in the way of love. Pride can keep you from telling someone the truth about yourself when you would really like to share yourself with them.
It can make you unwilling to be vulnerable with someone who could help you to grow in ways that will benefit both of you. If you’re not careful, pride might also pull you into a relationship that will eventually leave you feeling empty and ashamed at your own lack of self-worth.
