“Hurt people hurt people. But healed people heal people. Respect your feelings, and you’ll find your trauma. Respect your trauma and you’ll find your purpose. Respect your purpose and you’ll find your destiny. Respect your destiny and you’ll find your legacy.”

“Childhood is not only the childhood we really had but also the impressions we formed of it in our adolescence and maturity. That is why childhood seems so long.

Cesare Pavese, via Sunbeams (Page 99)
“God created man, and finding him not sufficiently alone, gave him a female companion so that he might feel his solitude more acutely.”

Seneca, Moral Letters, The Daily Stoic (Page 143)
“Life is short and it hurts. Love is the only drug that works.”
John Coit, via Sunbeams (Page 98)

Eugene Ionesco, via Sunbeams (Page 98)
