“Using this as a metaphor, I would like to see the improvement we have enjoyed in food over the last three decades applied to other fields. It is only when we abandon a narrow logic and embrace an appreciation of psycho-logical value, that we can truly improve things. Once we are honest about the existence of unconscious motivations, we can broaden our possible solutions.

“Just as there are words that are best left unspoken, so there are feelings that are best left unthought.*”

“I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief.”
