“People make the mistake of thinking that experiencing an emotion means you have to do something about it. In fact, you don’t have to do anything with your emotions at all. You can simply acknowledge them as they arrive – oh, look, that old bitch Envy is back again – then go about your business.
It’s the clinging to emotion that causes suffering … A wiser choice is to let it go and breathe.”
― J.T. Geissinger, Perfect Strangers

“A man won't suffer or sacrifice for something he doesn't love.”
― Amy Harmon, What the Wind Knows

“The hardest thing about life is knowing what matters and what doesn’t,” Winifred muses. “If nothing matters, then there’s no point. If everything matters, there’s no purpose. The trick is to find firm ground between the two ways of being.”
