A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong.

The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are, p.40, Simon and Schuster
