“In quoting others, we cite ourselves.”
“I'll just quote myself for now; actually, I'll quote what a good friend of mine, David Jenkins responded to a post I made when I was feeling 'pissy.'"Deep thoughts (come) from a deep well. Society is useful because when we see ourselves reflected through others we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves." ~ David Jenkins, 2013”
“We can't always do what we think we have to do. So when there's nothing else you can do, you wait... No matter what... pressure... you might feel.”
“And isn't this hard when we ourselves are always at the beginning of ourselves?”
“We cannot grow when we are in shame, and we can't use shame to change ourselves or others.”
