Book cover for Good Morning, Monster: A Therapist Shares Five Heroic Stories of Emotional Recovery
“White therapy has no spirit: it’s a doughnut with a hole in the middle of it,” he said. “I learned from you that I had pain, how to get at it—all that stuff—but there was nothing spiritual about it, and that’s the most healing. I needed ...more

Ursula K. Le Guin
“You can’t crush ideas by suppressing them. You can only crush them by ignoring them. By refusing to think, refusing to change.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

Ursula K. Le Guin
“My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

John Steinbeck
“Tom felt his darkness. His father was beautiful and clever, his mother was short and mathematically sure. Each of his brothers and sisters had looks or gifts or fortune. Tom loved all of them passionately, but he felt heavy and earth-bound. He climbed ecstatic mountains and floundered in the rocky darkness between the peaks. He had spurts of bravery but they were bracketed in battens of cowardice.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Leo Tolstoy
“Is it really possible to tell someone else what one feels?”
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

Douglas Adams

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
