“Science is not the truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn’t lie to you. It learned more.”
Brené Brown, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience

Susan  Burton
“The fact that I was ashamed of my own story was among the reasons I finally decided to tell it.”
Susan Burton, Empty

Brené Brown
“when I’m prioritizing being liked over being free, I was much sweeter but less authentic. Now I’m kinder and less judgmental. But also firmer and more solid. Occasionally salty.”
Brené Brown, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience

Susan  Burton
“But at the beginning, empty allowed me to take everything in. At the start, empty meant receptivity and only later meant rejection. Empty—for years I still loved it. I found hollowness extremely satisfying. Like a straw, something you could blow through. That was some of the most relief I could get in life, was being empty. That was a way I knew I could be open to sensation, when I was diminished, slim. And when I was: It was a gliding feeling. I could do a bridge; I could do a backbend. I could straddle you. I could leave for the airport and just get on a flight. There was no problem with anything. There was no reason not to get dressed. I recognize that I am still attached to the word; my impulse is to defend it. Emptiness is possibility. Empty is the moment before the future gets filled in. But it’s a state of impoverishment, not sustenance, and my unwillingness to accept this has been my great mistake. Empty amounts to nothing.”
Susan Burton, Empty

Brené Brown
“The more difficult it is for us to articulate our experiences of loss, longing, and feeling lost to the people around us, the more disconnected and alone we feel.”
Brené Brown, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience
