Byron Katie
“If you put your hand into a fire, does anyone have to tell you to move it? Do you have to decide? No: When your hand starts to burn, it moves. You don’t have to direct it; the hand moves itself. In the same way, once you understand, through inquiry, that an untrue thought causes suffering, you move away from it.”
Byron Katie, Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life

Sheng Wang
“A friend said to me, “Hey you need to grow a pair. Grow a pair, Bro.” It’s when someone calls you weak, but they associate it with a lack of testicles. Which is weird, because testicles are the most sensitive things in the world. If you suddenly just grew a pair, you’d be a lot more vulnerable. If you want to be tough, you should lose a pair. If you want to be real tough, you should grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.”
Sheng Wang

Helen Keller
“We bereaved are not alone. We belong to the largest company in all the world--the company of those who have known suffering.”
Helen Keller, We Bereaved

Rebecca Solnit
“The art is not one of forgetting but letting go. And when everything else is gone, you can be rich in loss.”
Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost

Brené Brown
“Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection.”
Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection
