“But what we know now is that when we deny our emotion, it owns us. When we own our emotion, we can rebuild and find our way through the pain.”
― Brené Brown, Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone

“when we are in pain and fear, anger and hate are our go-to emotions.”
― Brené Brown, Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone

“متى نظرت المرأة إلى رجل تعجب به كانت نظراتها الأولى متحيرة، قلقة، غير مطمئنة، معناها: هل هو أنت؟
فإذا داخلها الحب واطمأنت جاءت نظراتها مسترسلة، متذللة، متأنثة، معناها: هو أنت.”
― مصطفى صادق الرافعي, كلمة وكليمة

“We are complex beings who wake up every day and fight against being labeled and diminished with stereotypes and characterizations that don’t reflect our fullness. Yet when we don’t risk standing on our own and speaking out, when the options laid before us force us into the very categories we resist, we perpetuate our own disconnection and loneliness. When we are willing to risk venturing into the wilderness, and even becoming our own wilderness, we feel the deepest connection to our true self and to what matters the most.”
― Brené Brown, Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone
