Quote by Jane Austen

“I can never be important to anyone.' 'What is to prevent you?' 'Everything -- my situation -- my foolishness and awkwardness." 'As to your foolishness and awkwardness, my dear Fanny, you never have a shadow of either, but in using the words so improperly. There is no reason in the world why you should not be important where you are known. You have good sense, and a sweet temper, and I am sure you have a grateful heart, that could never receive kindness without wishing to return it. I do not know any better qualifications for a friend and companion.”

I was filled with hatred; hatred for one and all. I felt tremors in my body when I saw that I was behind bars and could not come out instantly to cause destruction of them all.”

“Do you know why I feel better after you left me? Because when I was with you, all I did was worry about you, listen to your negativity, cry with you in your sadness, and keep proving how much I cared for you. You never thought how exhausting that was. So it’s actually good that you left. Now I finally have time to think about myself, dream big, and live better.”

“Many of us with anxiety don’t look like we’ve got a problem because outwardly we function ludicrously well. Or so the merry story goes. Our anxiety sees us make industrious lists and plans, run purposefully from one thing to the next, and move fast upstairs and across traffic intersections. We are a picture of efficiency and energy, always on the move, always doing. We’re Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh, always flitting about convinced everyone depends on us to make things happen and to be there when they do. And to generally attend to happenings. But beneath that veneer were being pushed by fear and doubt and a voice that tells us we’re a bad husband, and insufficient sister, we’re wasting time, we’re not producing enough, - that we turn everything into a clusterfuck.”
