Dorothy Parker
“But I don't give up; I forget why not.”
Dorothy Parker

Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“Sometimes the one who is running from the Life/Death/Life nature insists on thinking of love as a boon only. Yet love in its fullest form is a series of deaths and rebirths. We let go of one phase, one aspect of love, and enter another. Passion dies and is brought back. Pain is chased away and surfaces another time. To love means to embrace and at the same time to withstand many endings, and many many beginnings- all in the same relationship.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

Margaret Atwood
“As it says in the Bible, For now we through a glass, darkly; but then face to face.
If it is face to face, there must be two looking.”
Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace

Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“When seeking guidance, don't ever listen to the tiny-hearted. Be kind to them, heap them with blessing, cajole them, but do not follow their advice.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

Sylvia Plath
“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
