Stephen Grosz
“Being present, whether with children, with friends, or even with oneself, is hard work. But isn't this attentiveness -- the feeling that someone is trying to think about us -- something we want more than praise?”
Stephen Grosz, The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves

Stephen Grosz
“All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them. But if we cannot find a way of telling our story, our story tells us- we dream these stories, we develop symptoms, or we find ourselves acting in ways we don't understand.”
Stephen Grosz, The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves

Stephen Grosz
“we all try to silence painful emotions. but when we succeed in feeling nothing we lose the only means we have of knowing what hurts us and why.”
Stephen Grosz, The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves

Stephen Grosz
“As he spoke, I had the mental image of a small boy switching on the nightlight, not because he wants to be able to find his parents during the night, but because he fears his parents will forget him - lose him - in the dark.”
Stephen Grosz, The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves

Stephen Grosz
“Being loved is the problem, because love is a demand - when you're loved, someone wants more of you.”
Stephen Grosz, The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves
