“No, I’m just somebody who realized that psychological suffering requires two things—giving up control of your thoughts, and closing your eyes to the world. All that grief, all that stress, everything about negative emotions that goes beyond normal physical defense responses, are all just your own choices. Of that I’m convinced.”

“Men can have an obvious display of heroics or strength or accomplishment, but it is the unsung women throughout all ages of humankind who have endured with superlative strength, beauty and love, often with secret suffering, that deserve absolute respect and acknowlegement. They are the true heroes of humanity. They are the champions who have birthed and nurtured us, who have held us together at the most integral level, when men seemed intent only on tearing apart the fabric of life for irrelevant ideals.”
