"Be a person who gives a shit about other people."
"Im super fucking sensitive. I love this about myself only slightly more than I cant stand it. Sometimes I wish I were an unfeeling stone who didnt take everything so personally and didnt need so much space all the time. Feeling can get exhausting fast. Mostly, though, I know my sensitivity is a superpower, perhaps my greatest, and its the thing that keeps me loving our world in a profound way, when Im not too busy hiding from it, that is."
"Just like anything, don't rush a good thing. Enjoy it. Just like in a game of chess, all of the pieces serve a different purpose . In conquering daily battles, we must remember to set our bars a little lower to discover the immediate joys existing right under our our nose."
"Why is it that happiness remembered feels like despair?"
"Living life without a goal is like sailing the sea without a compass."

"The right to the pursuit of happiness, originally envisaged as a restraint on state power, has imperceptibly morphed into the right to happiness C as if human beings have a natural right to be happy, and anything which makes us dissatisfied is a violation of our basic human rights, so the state should do something about it."
"If people aren't able to see your magnificence that's their loss, not yours."
"I didn't hit other people or hit purposefully, I just hit. Some object would be at fault. My anger was at myself, every time, all vanity. As an adolescent I was a slammer of drawers and a packer of suitcases. I was responsible for scenes.Control came imperfectly to all of us: we reached it at different times of life, frustrated, shot into indignation, by different things - some that are grown out of, and others not.Of all my strong emotions, anger is the one least responsible for any of my work. I don't write out of anger. For one thing, simply as a fiction writer, I am minus an adversary - except, of course, that of time - and for another thing, the act of writing in itself brings me happiness."
"Who are you not to be yourself?"
"Today is the perfect day to do something daring. Like just be yourself, for instance."
"Here's the thing about meditation, as I try once again to make it a habit... Even when I close my eyes to meditate for five minutes, body fidgeting, mind racing and worrying and busying itself with everything but the present moment, I still feel quieter, more relaxed when I open my eyes. Maybe it's just the simple act of giving myself five dedicated minutes of attention (no matter how they play out) to the calm, knowing soul that smiles from within at all of my mental nonsense. We are beings of peace after all. And of love. So much goodness, so much understanding and compassion lives inside each of us, like wide-eyed children, always ready to come out and play."
"If we learn to live with few wants, we shall forever be happy."
"Be free, my friend.Cry, scream, rage, collapse.Your pain is not too much for us.And though its hard to believe right now,your pain is not too much for you, either.Fall apart into a thousand frightened pieces,question everything youve always trusted,grieve however you need to grieve.Well still be here. So will you.Yes, you will survive this.Changed but stronger.Wounded but alive.Seen, and loved. So very loved."
"Everywhere I look I see people doing their best to make sense of this overwhelming reality, and to be kind, authentic human beings despite the many invitations we all receive to be phony, unkind assholes. Sometimes their best doesnt look like much to me, and I remind myself that my best doesnt look like much a lot of the time, too. I empathize. Were all human, and were all struggling. Every single one of us, every single day. Its not my job to police the paths of others, not when it takes so much effort to light my own."
"I cant tell you anything about yourself you dont already knowWAITunless you dont know youre an incredibly freaking amazing person with boundless gifts to sharethen I can tell you that."
"People often think of humility as the act of saying 'I am not that great.' This is lack of confidence. True humility is looking at the amazing people throughout history and saying 'I am pretty great... but I can always be greater."
"Well, I don't want to be anyone but myself, even if I go uncomforted by diamonds all my life,' declared Anne. 'I'm quite content to be Anne of Green Gables, with my string of pearl beads."
