Self-esteem is made up primarily of two things: feeling lovable and feeling capable. Lovable means I feel people want to be with me. They invite me to parties; they affirm I have the qualities necessary to be included. Feeling capable is knowing that I can produce a result. It's knowing I can handle anything that life hands me.

Trying to learn to be a good man is like learning to play tennis against a wall. You are only a good man - a competent, capable, interesting and lovable man - when you're doing it for, or with, other people.

Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits, but you accept everybody just because they're alive and human.

Albert Ellis

I certainly want people to like my writing, but I know that if I write with the intention of trying to please people, the writing will not be good because it will not be authentic. So, ironically, I have to be willing to write something strange or unlovable in order to write anything truly good.

I think I'm lovable. That's the gift God gave me. I don't do anything to be lovable. I have no control.

Henry Winkler is the most lovable man. He is like everybody's favorite grandfather.

Ari Graynor

More than anything, whether it's my dad's fault or whatever, I wouldn't allow myself to be loved. I lived most of my life thinking that I was unlovable, that I was broken goods, or whatever.

Bart Millard

Part of my evolution has been to learn how painful most people's childhoods are. They grow up not liking themselves, not loving themselves. Ask people if they were lovable the minute they were born, and watch them sit back and have to think about it. One lady said, 'I suppose so.' That's painful.

My husband is a big softy and he is so lovable. He is very much like my pets in that I love to cuddle him.

Even in movies like 'Superbad,' they're all lovable kids.

I consider myself just a lovable old man who just loves women. I've reversed 100 percent.

Deep down I think I'm a lovable guy.

I don't want to do risky. I want to do important. And lovable. Important and lovable.

The original 'Star Trek' series is the classic one. Its successor, 'The Next Generation,' is less lovable, but at its best, it's smarter.

The child who acts unlovable is the child who most needs to be loved.

I wish with all my heart that you may be the most lovable prince in the world, and I bestow my gift on you as much as I am able.

When you think Selena Gomez, you think 'celebrity.' But really, she does so many things for me. She's very caring. Before she goes on stage, she's a goofy girl. She's fun-loving and totally lovable, which I say in the most honest way. She's not even a celebrity to me; she's just a really cool person.

I hope there is nothing about me that people have a big problem with. You know, I like to think of myself as lovable.

I luckily had a very charming, lovable mom who I think everybody could see bits and pieces of their mom in.

What I do in WWE is essentially a lovable bad guy.

Maybe you've decided you're not a genius, that you're not brilliant, that you're not prosperous, that you're not wonderful, that you're not lovable. Well, you know what? You're both: you're unlovable and you are lovable. And they both need equal time.

Debbie Ford

Time You Wonderful

I would say what scares me is that I'm going to ultimately find out at the end of my life that I'm really not lovable, that I'm not worthy of being loved. That there's something fundamentally wrong with me.

Demi Moore

Apart from 'VIP' being a blockbuster movie, the various characters such as mine, the Luna bike I use in the movie, the lovable amma and appa, a pet dog named Harry Potter, the innocent brother, etc., had a huge reach among the audiences.

Dhanush

Love is very dangerous if you just have love and don't have the ability to be lovable.

Dick Gregory

There's nothing cure or funny or lovable about being cheap. It's a total turn-off.

Douglas Coupland

Older men get lovable, and older women get monstrous.

Eileen Myles

'Va Savoir' is a lovable comedy about love that looks upon life as drama and uses the world of the theater as a staging device.

Elvis Mitchell

What most people in our culture mean by being lovable is essentially a mixture between being popular and having sex appeal.

Erich Fromm

Words are so lovable. How could you not love words?

Erin McKean

That, for me, actually is the most important thing about doing a period film is trying to make these people as lovable as they are back then.

Florence Pugh

Hope and Crosby made seven 'Road' movies, starting in 1940 with 'Road to Singapore.' The movies were always about Crosby and Hope fleeing America and finding Dorothy Lamour in some exotic location. Bob's character was cocky and cowardly; Bing's character was smooth and unruffled. They were great characters - lousy, lovable guys.

Frank Oz

I think everybody longs to be loved and longs to know that he or she is lovable. And, consequently, the greatest thing that we can do is to help somebody know that they're loved and capable of loving.

Fred Rogers

Human beings need to feel that they are lovable and capable of loving.

Fred Rogers

Unworthiness is the inmost frightening thought that you do not belong, no matter how much you want to belong, that you are an outsider and will always be an outsider. It is the idea that you are flawed and cannot be fixed. It is wanting to be loved and feeling unlovable, or wanting to love and feeling that you are not capable of loving.

Gary Zukav

There is a lovable quality about the actual tools. One feels so kindly to the thing that enables the hand to obey the brain. Moreover, one feels a good deal of respect for it; without it the brain and the hand would be helpless.

Gertrude Jekyll

Love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue at all.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

I'm exactly as I appear. There is no warm, lovable person inside. Beneath my cold exterior, once you break the ice, you find cold water.

Gore Vidal

I get a lot of the time, 'We don't know how to market you,' or, 'You're too big.' Or, 'We have one of you already,'. But you don't have one of me already; you don't have a seven-foot, lovable guy. You don't have that.

Grizz Chapman

I think that the audience feels a real connection with Zoe Kazan because she's so instantly lovable.

Holly Hunter

Self-esteem is made up primarily of two things: feeling lovable and feeling capable. Lovable means I feel people want to be with me.

People are so used to seeing John Goodman as a lovable dad or the quirky characters he played in the Coen Brothers films.

James Wan

I've gone for each type: the rough guy; the nerdy, sweet, lovable guy; and the slick guy. I don't really have a type. Men in general are a good thing.

Jennifer Aniston

Jeffrey Deitch is the Jeff Koons of art dealers. Not because he's the biggest, best, or the richest of his kind. But because in some ways he's the weirdest (which is saying a lot when you're talking about the wonderful, wicked, lovable, and annoying creatures known as art dealers).

Jerry Saltz

For me, there's something likable but not quite lovable about poached fish: the ultraclean flavor, the melt-away texture, the no-fat virtuousness.

Jonathan Miles

I was brought up not to be selfish or self-centered. So if you play somebody who isn't so lovable, you can play that person and no one will turn on you. I don't want to play that person in real life. Because then people won't like me so much.

Julie Kavner

I'm not sure I'm very confident at all. There was a lot of my life when I thought I was fundamentally unlovable.

Kate Garraway

When I see that my geek may have contained some of the best parts of me, when I love and appreciate him, I set my children free to see themselves as lovable however they are.

Kenny Loggins

'Rock of Love' with Bret Michaels was fun. He's a lovable guy.

Kristen Schaal

I suppose I'd always been attracted to commitment-phobes because some part of me felt unlovable. It was a lot easier to fall for a guy who I knew, on some level, wouldn't fall in love with me. There was nothing to risk. The real risk would be to finally be vulnerable to love.

Laura Fraser

That's one of the biggest fears a lot of trans people have if they decide to come out, that they're making themselves unlovable and that they'll never have a relationship again.
