Book cover for Sandwich
“He’s just wrong,” Nick says now. “He’s imperfect. This is not new information. It’s okay. You still get to love him.”

“People are like cities: We all have alleys and gardens and secret rooftops and places where daisies sprout between the sidewalk cracks, but most of the time all we let each other see is is a postcard glimpse of a skyline or a polished square. Love lets you find those hidden places in another person, even the ones they didn't know were there, even the ones they wouldn't have thought to call beautiful themselves.”
Hilary T. Smith, Wild Awake

Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“I've seen women insist on cleaning everything in the house before they could sit down to write... and you know it's a funny thing about housecleaning... it never comes to an end. Perfect way to stop a woman. A woman must be careful to not allow over-responsibility (or over-respectabilty) to steal her necessary creative rests, riffs, and raptures. She simply must put her foot down and say no to half of what she believes she "should" be doing. Art is not meant to be created in stolen moments only.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

Carl R. Rogers
“When someone expresses some feeling or attitude or belief, our tendency is, almost immediately, to feel “That’s right”; or “That’s stupid”; “That’s abnormal”; “That’s unreasonable”; “That’s incorrect”; “That’s not nice.” Very rarely do we permit ourselves to understand precisely what the meaning of his statement is to him. I believe this is because understanding is risky. If I let myself really understand another person, I might be changed by that understanding. And we all fear change. So as I say, it is not an easy thing to permit oneself to understand an individual, to enter thoroughly and completely and empathically into his frame of reference. It is also a rare thing.”
Carl R. Rogers, On Becoming a Person: A Therapist's View of Psychotherapy

Devon  Price
“What non-Autistic folks often don’t realize is that Autistic people experience intense sensory input as if it were physical pain.[6”
Devon Price, Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity

Carl R. Rogers
“One of the basic things which I was a long time in realizing, and which I am still learning, is that when an activity feels as though it is valuable or worth doing, it is worth doing. Put another way, I have learned that my total organismic sensing of a situation is more trustworthy than my intellect.”
Carl R. Rogers, On Becoming a Person: A Therapist's View of Psychotherapy
