“The counselor says that with more time and more surgeries, I will begin to feel normal again. She says this with a mouth that can still smile. It’s so easy too to be reassuring when you have lips.”
Rasmenia Massoud
“Before you can live a part of you has to die. You have to let go of what could have been, how you should have acted and what you wish you would have said differently. You have to accept that you can’t change the past experiences, opinions of others at that moment in time or outcomes from their choices or yours. When you finally recognize that truth then you will understand the true meaning of forgiveness of yourself and others. From this point you will finally be free.”
Shannon L Alder
“I want to open a broken marriage repair shop. I’m not a counselor or psychologist, but I am a fan of the magical bonding that occurs between two people when duct tape binds them together for a long period of time in a dark basement. Refer a friend, and you get a two for one abuse session.”
Jarod Kintz
“The word 'survivor' carries a weight of remembrance that has broken the minds and bodies of more than a few men and women. It also contains a humbling light of recognition that compels many to do whatever they can to help reinforce the efforts of those who might be 'at risk' of not just giving up on their dreams, but of giving up on their continued existence.”
Aberjhani
When those you love die, the best you can do is honor their spirit for as long as you live. You make a commitment that you’re going to take whatever lesson that person or animal was trying to teach you, and you make it true in your own life… it’s a positive way to keep their spirit alive in the world, by keeping it alive in yourself.”
Patrick Swayze
“There is an inverse relationship between control and trust. Trust is more of a two-way exchange than most people, especially those in power, realize. Leaders in government, news media, universities, and corporations think they can own trust, when, of course, trust is given to them. Trust is earned with difficulty and lost with ease. When those institutions treat constituents like masses of fools, children, miscreants, or prisoners, when they simply don't listen, it's unlikely they will engender warm feelings of mutual respect. Trust is an act of opening up. It's a mutual relationship of transparency and sharing. The more ways you find to reveal yourself and listen to others, the more you will build trust, which is your brand.”
Jeff Jarvis
“Almost everything I've done is technically wrong, but Paul never mentioned the mistakes, only the corrective measures.”
Stefan Fatsis
“Teams that spend a lot of time learning the tricks of the trade will probably never really learn the trade.”
Yuri Boganov
“Humankind cannot bear too much reality.”
T S Elliot
“You cannot contain evil or crime by shaming it, or making people feel guilty about it, but only by revealing that what it really is to them, and then seeing the good that comes from it.”
Richard Bohr
“It is better to teach the young how to learn rather than what to learn.”
Richard Dawkins
“I could help you,” I said. “Counseling, drugs, a religious advisor, a girlfriend. Just tell me what you want.”
Janet Evanovich
