“People
use drugs, legal and illegal, because their lives are intolerably painful or
dull. They hate their work and find no rest in their leisure. They are
estranged from their families and their neighbors. It should tell us something
that in healthy societies drug use is celebrative, convivial, and occasional,
whereas among us it is lonely, shameful, and addictive. We need drugs,
apparently, because we have lost each other.”

“All
too often women believe it is a sign of commitment, an expression of love, to
endure unkindness or cruelty, to forgive and forget. In actuality, when we love
rightly we know that the healthy, loving response to cruelty and abuse is
putting ourselves out of harm's way.”

Geneen Roth, Women, Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything
“The
reality is that the lives of the smallest patients are in our hands, and their
clinical condition can change in an instant. No matter how many times you are
involved in situations such as this, the physical stress and anxiety as well as
the emotional and psychological effects of being immersed in that environment
are dramatic and lasting on the human body, mind, and central nervous system.
These effects are severe, and I firmly believe that they are cumulative over
your lifetime.”

Dorothy Parker
“When
you believe without knowing you believe that you are damaged at your core, you
also believe that you need to hide that damage for anyone to love you. You walk
around ashamed of being yourself. You try hard to make up for the way you look,
walk, feel. Decisions are agonizing because if you, the person who makes the
decision, is damaged, then how can you trust what you decide? You doubt your
own impulses so you become masterful at looking outside yourself for comfort.
You become an expert at finding experts and programs, at striving and trying
hard and then harder to change yourself, but this process only reaffirms what
you already believe about yourself -- that your needs and choices cannot be
trusted, and left to your own devices you are out of control (p.82-83)”

Lao Tzu
“Don't
destroy yourself by allowing negative people add gibberish and debris to your
character, reputation, and aspirations. Keep all dreams alive but discreet, so
that those with unhealthy tongues won't have any other option than to infest
themselves with their own diseases.”

Louis Pasteur
“.
. . hell is wanting to be somewhere different from where you are. Being one
place and wanting to be somewhere else . . . . Wanting life to be different from
what it is. That's also called leaving without leaving. Dying before you die.
It's as if there is a part of you that so rails against being shattered by love
that you shatter yourself first. (p. 44)”

Geneen Roth, Women, Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything
“Objection,
evasion, joyous distrust, and love of irony are signs of health; everything
absolute belongs to pathology.”

Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
“The
brain-disease model overlooks four fundamental truths: (1) our capacity to
destroy one another is matched by our capacity to heal one another. Restoring
relationships and community is central to restoring well-being; (2) language
gives us the power to change ourselves and others by communicating our
experiences, helping us to define what we know, and finding a common sense of
meaning; (3) we have the ability to regulate our own physiology, including some
of the so-called involuntary functions of the body and brain, through such
basic activities as breathing, moving, and touching; and (4) we can change
social conditions to create environments in which children and adults can feel
safe and where they can thrive.
When
we ignore these quintessential dimensions of humanity, we deprive people of
ways to heal from trauma and restore their autonomy. Being a patient, rather
than a participant in one’s healing process, separates suffering people from
their community and alienates them from an inner sense of self.”

Bessel A. van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the
Healing of Trauma
“We
cut the throat of a calf and hang it up by the heels to bleed to death so that
our veal cutlet may be white; we nail geese to a board and cram them with food
because we like the taste of liver disease; we tear birds to pieces to decorate
our women's hats; we mutilate domestic animals for no reason at all except to
follow an instinctively cruel fashion; and we connive at the most abominable
tortures in the hope of discovering some magical cure for our own diseases by them.”

“There
is no better teacher than history in determining the future... There are
answers worth billions of dollars in 30$ history book.”
