“Thanks. I guess I just want ... more. And this might sound stupid, but I didn't want to marry the first man who asked, just because he might be the only man to ask. I want to be with someone who can't imagine not being with me. A man who can't wait to get home at the end of the day because he knows I'll be waiting for him. Someone who will treat me with respect and encourage me to go after my dreams, instead of insisting that I find some crappy job so he can buy all the weed and alcohol he wants.”

“Non-derivative and concrete individuals are always self-individuating individuals, and this activity of self-individuation (or self-relating negativity) is manifest immediately in the activity of form of living beings. Indeed, this is why Hegel begins the chapter on 'Life' with a discussion of 'the living individual.' Individuality is immediately manifest in the living being, or the living being immediately posits itself as an individual, dividing itself from what it is not, because it matters to the living being that it is itself and not something else: first, that it is itself and not a piece of inert, dead matter; second, that is it itself and not substitutable for another member of the same species; third, that it is itself and not a member of another species. Only beings that can be for themselves can point things out for them as an individual this, and so for Hegel, anything that is individual only on account of being pointed out by something outside itself is not an individual in the strict sense. Rocks, clouds, lumps of coal, and drops of water are thus mere particulars rather than individuals. In the context of the ontological proof, then, the being that is identical with the Concept is its own activity, and this activity posits itself as self-determining individuality.”
