“It should come as no surprise that stressful situations become less stressful the more you get used to them. Psychologists call this cue desensitization—the process by which you experience a lower emotional response to a stimulus after repeated exposure to it. It’s the reason that seasoned pros can still perform well in front of thousands of spectators, why public speaking becomes easier and easier, and, ahem, why it only feels kinky the first time you do it. So stop avoiding things that scare you. The goal is to seek out opportunities to experience pressure and confront it head-on.”

“Our REM sleep in 90-minute bursts, in a 24 hour cycle "digests" trauma that is experienced on a daily basis. In dreaming, the brain compares the trauma with early memory traces of similar experience, and files the memories of the day's events according to an affect-based associative system for further use and potential survival value. Comforting figures may appear in the dream to give care, advice, counsel, and relief, if necessary. The nightly dream process helps the dreamer receive positive resolution of his or her experience, and the dreamer moves on to the next day's activities restored, refreshed, and prepared for survival-based action.”

“The opposite of love is not hate; it is indifference. If you hate them, they still have power over you. Hate takes energy. Indifference is caring so little about them that they become nobody to you. No power over your emotions or your day. Indifference means their actions and words no longer affect you; they simply don’t matter. It's the ultimate freedom, allowing you to focus your energy on the things and people who truly deserve it. So, let go of the hate, embrace indifference, and reclaim your peace and power.”

“Ти имаш късмет: ще бъдеш жена. Ние, мъжете, не ставаме за нищо. Постоянно търсим неща, които, впрочем, никога няма да разберем. Съсипваме живота си далеч от другите, само заради нашата безгранична лудост. Истинското човешко същество е жената. Ние сме само видоизменени, осакатени човеци. Понеже не можем да родим света от корема си, се мъчим са го родим от главата. Жената живее, мъжът пише.”
