Quote by Mark Manson

“Fear and anxiety and sadness are not necessarily always undesirable or unhelpful states of mind; rather, they are often representatives of the necessary pain of psychological growth. And to deny that pain is to deny our own potential. ...If you just chase after highs to cover up the pain, if you continue to indulge in entitlement and delusional positive thinking, if you continue to overindulge in various substances or activities, then you'll never generate the requisite motivation to actually change.”

“Not depending on external gentleness and kindliness, one of the fundamental differences between male and female personalities is that the former tends to 'break' the opposite sex, but the latter to be broken by him. Male and female brains are designed to get pleasure from that breaking and being broken, respectively, within some acceptable limits. The more self-confident and stubborn a woman, the more intense unconscious desire to be broken by some aggressive and chauvinistic male intervention once. Not depending on how she would like to have the air of self-assured confidence, nothing could prevent her from dreaming of getting a hidden pleasure from it.”
