Terese Marie Mailhot
“To ascend there must be a dark, a descent.”
Terese Marie Mailhot, Heart Berries: A Memoir

Terese Marie Mailhot
“I can't believe my reserve of water—from my nose and eyes. I have dormant fluid in my body, every woman does. I don't know if I am a cavern or a river. Once, you said I was a geyser: a hole in the ground—bursting.”
Terese Marie Mailhot, Heart Berries

“I have often regretted my speech, but never my silence,”
Max Gunther, How to Get Lucky (Harriman Classics): 13 techniques for discovering and taking advantage of life’s good breaks

Terese Marie Mailhot
“My therapists didn’t pity me, not the good ones; they made me strip myself of pandering, manipulation, presentation—they wanted the truth more desperately than I did, and then they wanted me to speak it—live it every moment. I feel like writing is that way. Writing can be hard therapy.”
Terese Marie Mailhot, Heart Berries: A Memoir

Gay Hendricks
“To prevent humiliating collisions with the universe, I suggest we all adopt an attitude of being open to learning in every moment of our relationships. Every interaction contains within it the possibility of deep connection with our beloved, with ourselves, and with the cosmos. Relationship is the ultimate spiritual path, because it constantly presents us with the challenge to love and embrace in the very situations in which we're most prone to shun and reject. For that reason above all, relationship is the place where our spirituality most visibly comes to light. You can tell more about a person's true spirituality from the way he or she treats his or her partner than you ever could from tallying that person's church attendance.”
Gay Hendricks, The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level
