Andrew Solomon

“Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it's good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason.”

Søren Kierkegaard

“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”

Thay

"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."

"You carry Mother Earth within you.  She is not outside of you.  Mother Earth is not just your environment.  In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer."

"People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar."
