“We’re just alike,... Plants and humans. Plants need to be loved the right way in order to
survive. So do humans. We rely on our parents from birth to love us enough to keep us alive.
And if our
parents show us the right kind of love, we turn out as better humans overall. But if we’re
neglected . . we’re neglected, we end up homeless and incapable of anything
meaningful”
― It Ends with Us

“And we're such language-based creatures that to some extent we cannot know what we cannot name. And so we assume it isn't real. We refer to it with catch-all terms, like crazy or chronic pain, terms that both ostracise and minimise. The term chronic pain captures nothing of the grinding, constant, ceaseless, inescapable hurt. And the term crazy arrives at us with none of the terror and worry you live with.”
