“Ik wou dat ik iemand was, dat denk ik ondertussen, en dat ik alles kon, of toch datgene wat ze van mij wilden. Ik wou het zelfvertrouwen van dat ene kind met die grote oren. En het grapje waar die mevrouw met dat haar, daar achter dat ene raam, zo om moet lachen. Ik wou stoute schoenen om aan te trekken. Ik wou glanzend geluk en onwerkelijk grote liefde. Ik wou troost voor mij en voor iedereen die dat nodig heeft. Ik wou dat ik steengoed was in wat ik deed. Ik wou dat ik hem kon geven wat hij dan verlangt. Ik wou een vader die ik meer kon helpen. Ik wou de mist boven de bergen, dingen om nooit meer te vergeten, en onweerstaanbaar zijn, dat ook nog.”

“Ik heb het nooit tegen iemand gezegd, dat ik mijn moeder niet gemist heb, dat ik niet kon huilen, die nacht, omdat ik naast een stil soort verdriet ook opluchting voelde, dat ik 's ochtends keek naar de zon die hoog stond en dacht: het is een nieuwe dag, dat ik mijn vader meer miste, omdat de afwezigheid van wie verdwijnt terwijl hij voor je staat heftiger schijnt, dat ik mij afvraag wat dat dan betekent.”
― Griet Op de Beeck

“En dan gaat Eva dood. Ze is gesprongen. Zij kon ook goed kiezen. Geen half werk. Geen truttig gedoe met pillen en gevonden worden, en dan opnieuw.
Zij wilde dood omdat het leven haar niet bracht wat ze droomde. Omdat ze heel diep kon voelen. Omdat ze niet meer kon. Ik geloof nog altijd: zij wilde niet per se dood, zij wilde niet dit leven, niet dit hoofd, niet dit gehavend hart. Dat is echt iets anders. Er viel nog zoveel te proberen. Ik ben daar eerder verdrietig om dan kwaad, tegenwoordig.”

“when a child is ridiculed, shamed, hurt or ignored when she experiences and expresses a legitimate dependency need, she will later be inclined to attach those same affective tones to her dependency. Thus, she will experience her own (and perhaps others’) dependency as ridiculous, shameful, painful, or denied.

“In order to survive our youth, many of us became sensitized to which conditions we had to play to, to receive attention. No wonder we mistook this attention for love. We thought love came in finite quantities—it had to be competed for among siblings, or it had to be paid for with exacting dues.”

“I was a very lonely child and it's funny but the first word that comes to my head is "starved". I felt starved of affection, starved of love and I felt that it wasn't OK to ask for it. Maybe there was a sense that if I deserved it, it would be there. There must be something I'd done which meant I didn't deserve it.”

“But the hearts of small children are delicate organs. A cruel beginning in this world can twist them into curious shapes. The heart of a hurt child can shrink so that forever afterward it is hard and pitted as the seed of a peach. Or again, the heart of such a child may fester and swell until it is a misery to carry within the body, easily chafed and hurt by the most ordinary things.”
