“Going high is about learning to keep the poison out and the power in.”
Michelle Obama, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times

Logan Ury
“tendency to believe someone’s actions reflect who they are rather than the circumstances. When someone makes a mistake, we interpret the misstep as revealing something essential, and essentially bad, about that person’s character. We don’t look for external reasons to explain the behavior.”
Logan Ury, How to Not Die Alone: The Surprising Science of Finding Love

Michelle Obama
“Our hurts become our fears. Our fears become our limits. For many of us, this can be a heavy inheritance, carried by generations. It’s a lot to try to push back against, to try to unlearn.”
Michelle Obama, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times

Michelle Obama
“If you choose to try to make a life with another person, you will live by that choice. You'd find yourself having to choose again and again to remain rather than run. It helps if you enter into a committed relationship prepared to work, ready to be humbled and willing to accept and even enjoy living in that in-between space, bouncing between the poles of beautiful and horrible, sometimes in the span of a single conversation, sometimes over the course of years.

Michelle Obama, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times

Michelle Obama
“I believe that each of us carries a bit of inner brightness, something entirely unique and individual. A flame that's worth protecting. When we are able to recognize our own light, we become empowered to use it. When we learn to foster what's unique in the people around us, we become better able to build compassionate communities and make meaningful change.”
Michelle Obama, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times
