“You were destined for me. Perhaps as a punishment.”
― Dostoievski

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“Your skin is your skin. Your legs are your legs. Your hair is your hair. Your smile is your smile. Your past is your past. You can waste your life hating these things, but you may as well learn to accept them. Both routes are difficult and full of pain, but with acceptance, you will be happy one day, while with hatred, you never will.”
― Vironika Tugaleva

“I want to live with deep intimacy every day of my life. I am guided, sometimes driven, by an ache to take the necessary risks that will let me live close to what is within and around me. And I am sometimes afraid that it will be too much, that I will not have, or be connected to, whatever it takes to be with it all, to bear the exquisite beauty and bone-wrenching sorrow of being fully alive.”
― Oriah Mountain Dreamer, The Invitation
