“Things do not grow better; they remain as they are. It is we who grow better, by the changes we make in ourselves.”
“Don't you see? The things we once loved do not change, only our belief in them... You are left with the only things that any of us have in the end. The things we keep inside of ourselves, that grow out of us, that tell us who we are.”
“I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.”
“We cannot grow when we are in shame, and we can't use shame to change ourselves or others.”
“We must be content to grow slowly. Most of us will still barely be at the beginning of our recovery by the time we die. But that is better than killing ourselves pretending to be healthy.”
“We age not by holding on to youth, but by letting ourselves grow and embracing whatever youthful parts remain.”
