Caroline Dooner
“You are meant to have the option to comfort yourself with food. You are not a robot eating battery pellets for energy.”
Caroline Dooner, The F*ck It Diet: Eating Should Be Easy

Ibram X. Kendi
“When geneticists compare these ethnic populations, they find there is more genetic diversity between populations within Africa than between Africa and the rest of the world. Ethnic groups in Western Africa are more genetically similar to ethnic groups in Western Europe than to ethnic groups in Eastern Africa. Race is a genetic mirage.”
Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist

Caroline Dooner
“You cannot go through your life without losing and grieving, and if you try to avoid it, that emotion will get stuck and be constantly waiting for you to feel it. My advice on unavoidable pain is the same as always: feel it and honor it. That’s how you process anything. Come back into the body to feel it, use the breathe-and-feel tool, and it will pass in time. It will come in waves. It will teach you how to be human. It’s not necessarily fun, but it’s so incredibly important. And paradoxically, feeling grief and pain will eventually allow you the space to process, and eventually be happy again.”
Caroline Dooner, The F*ck It Diet: Eating Should Be Easy

Jessica Valenti
“In fact, no group of parents—married, single, step, or even empty nest—reported significantly greater emotional well-being than people who never had children,” she said. “It’s such a counterintuitive finding because we have these cultural beliefs that children are the key to happiness and a healthy life, and they’re not.”
Jessica Valenti, Why Have Kids?: A New Mom Explores the Truth About Parenting and Happiness

Rolf Potts
“In this way, “seeing” as you travel is somewhat of a spiritual exercise: a process not of seeking interesting surroundings, but of being continually interested in whatever surrounds you.”
Rolf Potts, Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel
