Quotes by Gabrielle Bell  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I don't run for my physical health, though that's a lucky side effect. I run because I'm tortured inside. I run to soothe the violence in my mind, the depression, the panic, the disappointments, the shame, the frustration, the helplessness against time. You could say I'm running from something... though I'd rather think I'm running TOWARD something. Though I'm probably running just to stay in one place. It seems like most of life is just maintenance, after all.”
Gabrielle Bell, The Voyeurs

“My yoga teacher says to think of your thoughts like skateboarders passing through our line of vision; just watch them go by, don't try to follow them down the street.”
Gabrielle Bell, The Voyeurs

“And I though about people all over the world, having panic attacks. We all must, right? Even those with the soundest of mind must come face to face, sometimes, with the fact that we will die one day. What varies is how we cope with it.”
Gabrielle Bell, The Voyeurs
