“It wasn’t that she was sad—sadness had very little to do with it, really, considering that most of the time, she felt close to nothing at all. Feeling required nerves, connections, sensory input. The only thing she felt was numb. And tired. Yes, she very frequently felt tired.” ―Nenia Campbell
Quotes
Every Human Being
“Every human being on this earth knows that life is not without pain. For most of us, it’s an inconvenience, a trail to be endured or avoided. But there are a select few who seek it out. Who use it as a tool to create something so beautiful, that it transcends this world… and makes them immortal.” –Unknown
At The End Of The Day
“At the end of the day your ability to connect with your readers comes down to how you make them feel.” ―Benjamin J. Carey
The Heart
“The heart is a strange beast and not ruled by logic.” ―Maria V. Snyder
You Cannot Be Fair To Others…
“You cannot be fair to others without first being fair to yourself.
Know that a well-honed sense of justice is a measure of personal experience, and all experience is a measure of self.
Know that the highest expression of justice is mercy.
Thus, as the supreme judge in your own court, you must have compassion for yourself.
Otherwise, cede your gavel.” ―Vera Nazarian
If You Read…
“If you read fairy tales carefully, you’ll notice they are mostly about people who aren’t heroes. They don’t have special powers, or gifts. Often they are described as stupid. They are bullied, beaten up, robbed, starved. But they find they are stronger than their misfortunes.” ―Amanda Craig
A Friend Is…
“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel, or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is.” ―Jim Morrison
…The Less You Let Things Upset You
“The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.” ―Stephanie Perkins
Maybe That Leader Is You
“The lie that you can’t make money doing what you love is just a projection of your self-accepted unworthiness. We are all worthy of abundance. The great Earth is abundant, and we are its stewards; endless wealth is ours. We have the wealth of the universe; it’s all accessible, but you have to claim the abundance. You don’t have to be poor to be deeply spiritual, and in fact spirituality can bring every type of wealth there is to be had. What the world needs more than anything is more spiritual millionaires and spiritual billionaires; the world needs conscious leadership! Maybe that leader is you.” —Bryant McGill
When You’re Sick…
“When you’re sick, who does the shopping or takes you to the doctor? Who do you talk to when you are upset?” In other words, who provides you with emotional and practical support? Some patients gave us surprising answers: ‘My dog’ or ‘My therapist’ – or ‘nobody.’” ―Bessel A. van der Kolk
