“Healing is a different type of pain. It’s the pain of becoming aware of the power of one’s strength and weakness, of one’s capacity to love or do damage to oneself and to others, and of how the most challenging person to control in life is ultimately yourself.”
― Caroline Myss

“No man ever raised a monument to a cynic or wrote a poem about a man without faith.”
― Louis L'Amour

“Finding the right healing path requires all or nothing. Once you place conditions on healing, all you can achieve is conditional healing.”
― Caroline Myss, Why People Don't Heal and How They Can: A Practical Programme for Healing Body, Mind and Spirit

“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride
