“We build fortresses around ourselves in order to protect the things that are important to us, and we forget that what's really important to us is the connection with other people.”
“We may never become accustomed to untrue and unjust criticism of us but we ought not to be immobilized by it.”
“The better you learn to take care of yourself, the less you settle for being around people who can't or won't treat you as well as you're accustomed.”
“Am I getting braver, or just getting accustomed to being terrified?”
