  Anxiety Quotes - It is not depression or anxiety that truly hurts us   “I sat down and tried to rest. I could not; though I had been on foot all day, I could not now repose an instant; I was too much excited. A phase of my life was closing tonight, a new one opening tomorrow: impossible to slumber in the interval; I must watch feverishly while the change was being accomplished.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre   “In any weather, at any hour of the day or night, I have been anxious to improve the nick of time, and notch it on my stick too; to stand on the meeting of two eternities, the past and the future, which is precisely the present moment; to toe that line. You will pardon some obscurities, for there are more secrets in my trade than in most men's, and yet not voluntarily kept, but inseparable from its very nature.” ― Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods   “I never do enjoy my breaks, long or short...I look forward to them intensely, bu...

  Anxiety Quotes - Anxiety is a living body   “Knowing about God is crucially important for the living of our lives. As it would be cruel to an Amazonian tribesmen to fly him to London, put him down without explanation in Trafalgar Square and leave him, as one who knew nothing of English or England, to fend for himself, so we are cruel to ourselves if we try to live in this world without knowing about the God whose world it is and who runs it .The world becomes a strange, mad, painful place, and life in it a disappointing and unpleasant business, for those who do not know about God. Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfold, as it were , with no sense of direction, and no understanding of what surrounds you. This way you can waste your life and lose your soul.” ― J.I. Packer, Knowing God   “Relax; the world's not watching that closely. It's too busy contemplating itself in the mirror.” ― Richelle E. Goodr...

  Anxiety Quotes - You are the biggest enemy of your own sleep   “Today I wore a pair of faded old jeans and a plain grey baggy shirt. I hadn't even taken a shower, and I did not put on an ounce of makeup. I grabbed a worn out black oversized jacket to cover myself with even though it is warm outside. I have made conscious decisions lately to look like less of what I felt a male would want to see. I want to disappear.” ― Sierra D. Waters, Debbie.   “Living a life somewhere else in your mind is nothing more than being a prisoner where you are.” ― Shannon L. Alder   “A bitter man needs to place his troubles on the front of his tongue so that they taste sweeter.” ― Jay Wickre, Dubious Musings of a Peculiar Man   “You are the biggest enemy of your own sleep.” ― Pawan Mishra   “Present fears are less than horrible imaginings.” ― William Shakespeare, Macbeth   “Mattie sat at the table, obsessing, orbiting around herself. She w...

  Alcohol Quotes - The most dangerous drink is gin “O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains!" - Cassio (Act II, Scene iii)” ― William Shakespeare, Othello   “So what are you planning to do with the rest of your life? Develop a drinking problem. More Scotch, please.” ― Daniel Silva, The Marching Season   “The most dangerous drink is gin. You have to be really, really careful with that. And you also have to be 45, female and sitting on the stairs. Because gin isn't really a drink, it's more a mascara thinner. "Nobody likes my shoes!" "I made... I made fifty... fucking vol-au-vents, and not one of you... not one of you... said 'Thank you.'" And my favourite: "Everybody, shut up. Shut up! This song is all about me.” ― Dylan Moran   “When I was a boy, I naively thought that this thing called happiness would be something I would wake up to find every day once I could smoke, drink and fo...

  Alcohol Quotes - I always think the opening moments of a party are the hardest, before everyone has had enough to drink   “Through the discovery of Buchner, Biology was relieved of another fragment of mysticism. The splitting up of sugar into CO2 and alcohol is no more the effect of a 'vital principle' than the splitting up of cane sugar by invertase. The history of this problem is instructive, as it warns us against considering problems as beyond our reach because they have not yet found their solution.” ― Jacques Loeb   “I always think the opening moments of a party are the hardest, before everyone has had enough to drink.” ― Stephanie Clifford, Everybody Rise   “I took a breath. Pictured the bed waiting for me upstairs. Then retreated to the lobby bar alone and ordered an ice-cold gin martini, a small signal to myself that my work was done. I held the glass, its inverted construction an insult to gravity and the order of things. Just like our...
