“You can drive the devil out of your garden but you will find him again in the garden of your son.”
― Alice Miller, The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self

“Trauma comes back as a reaction, not a memory.”
― Bessel Van Der Kolk

“Life is full of difficult times. But someone out there always has it worse than you do. If you fill your days with pity, sorrowful for the way you have been treated, bemoaning your lot in life, blaming your circumstances on someone or something else, then life will be long and hard. If, on the other hand, you refuse to give up on your dreams, stand tall and strong against the odds—then life will be what you make of it—and you can make it great.”
― William H. McRaven, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World

“You will pay for your failures. But, if you persevere, if you let those failures teach you and strengthen you, then you will be prepared to handle life’s toughest moments.”
― William H. McRaven, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World
