“Shame works like the zoom lens on a camera. When we are feeling shame, the camera is zoomed in tight and all we see is our flawed selves, alone and struggling.(page 68)”

“When we're suffering, may of us are better at causing pain than feeling it. We spread hurt rather than let it inside.”
― Brene Brown, Braving the Wilderness

“No one reaches out to you for compassion or empathy so you can teach them how to behave better. They reach out to us because they believe in our capacity to know our darkness well enough to sit in the dark with them.”
