Relationships & Emotions

Relationships of substance and depth are not formed quickly or easily. They require effort, patience, courage, love, and trust. They require self-exploration. They illuminate fear and reveal hidden, painful, and shameful parts of ourselves.

The more intense an emotion is, the more painful are the sensations in your body and the more compulsive are your thoughts.

~ The Heart of the Soul: Emotional Awareness by Gary Zukav & Linda Francis

  1. 被爱,悲哀?

    I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

    ~ Margaret Mitchell (1900 – 1949), author of Gone with the Wind
