That's a common saying. I'm not convinced of the truth of it. Perhaps it's a bit more true that loving in a healthy manner is much easier when you love yourself. So it might not be the quantity of the love, but maybe the quality is different if it comes from a place of believing that you have as much to offer as your beloved, and are every bit as worthy of love.
