Brené Brown
“You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.”
Brene Brown

Kamand Kojouri
“Life is a concept, like the “universe", that expands as soon as we reach what we think is its edge.”
Kamand Kojouri

Bessel van der Kolk
“Mindfulness not only makes it possible to survey our internal landscape with compassion and curiosity but can also actively steer us in the right direction for self-care.”
Bessel A. van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

L.M. Montgomery
“I was very much provoked. Of course, I knew there are no fairies; but that needn't prevent my thinking there is.”
L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man. Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists
