“These hurts I have are my fault but I'm sure gonna learn from it and hopefully anyone reading this will too.

“By conversing with the mighty dead, we imbibe sentiment with knowledge. We become strongly attached to those who can no longer either hurt or serve us, except through the influence which they exert over the mind. We feel the presence of that power which gives immortality to human thoughts and actions, and catch the flame of enthusiasm from all nations and ages.” GivingFeelsMindHumansAgeActionReadingNationsHurtInfluenceEnthusiasmImmortalityFlamesSentimentsThoughts And ActionsHuman Thought Book:The Letters of William Hazlitt Source: The Letters of William Hazlitt
“I do not think reading the mystics would hurt you myself: you say you must avoid books which deal with 'feelings' - but the mystics don't deal with feelings but with love which is a very different thing. You have too many 'feelings,' but not nearly enough love.” ThinkingBookDifferentEnoughFeelingsReadingHurtDealsDifferent ThingsMysticismEnough Love Author:Evelyn Underhill
“I'm beginning to believe that Killer Illiteracy ought to rank near heart disease and cancer as one of the leading causes of deathamong Americans.

“Something seems wrong to most people engaged in struggle when they see more people hurt on their own side than on the other side. They are used to reading this as an indication of defeat, and a complete mental readjustment is required of them. Within the new terms of struggle, victory has nothing to do with their being able to give more punishment than they take (quite the reverse); victory has nothing to do with their being able to punish the other at all; it has to do simply with being able, finally, to make the other move... Vengeance is not the point; change is.” PeopleGivingSeemsAbleMovingUsedReadingSidesTermHurtStruggleVictoryDefeatPunishmentEngagedReverseVengeanceIndication Author:Barbara Deming
“Today, I wanted to spend some time reading and responding to comments of fans on my Facebook page. Yes, there are great comments, but there are also a lot of people who are very opinionated and judgmental. So, initially, when I read these judgmental comments, I don't feel vulnerable, but rather I get defensive. But once I get past that anger, it sort of becomes hurt. It becomes pain.” PeopleFeelsTodayWantedPainPastReadingHurtFansPagesVulnerableCommentRespondingJudgmentalOpinionatedFacebook Page Author:Matisyahu
“There's a lot of lies out there that we should catch and that have taken me a lot of time to sort of see, and reading up on it and getting educated on it. I'm reading a book that's about how images of beauty have hurt women along the decades. It's a very educating but infuriating thing to see, how we don't have equal opportunity because they're demanding so much more.” ShouldBookLyingReadingOpportunityHurtTakenEqualDecadesEducatedEqual OpportunityInfuriating Author:Karla Souza
“I put a lot of stock in the written word, and the power of it. That's what I love about acting and reading scripts. Words are really powerful. I don't believe that axiom at all - words can absolutely hurt you. Words can wound. They can do a lot of damage. I think they can do way more damage than sticks and stones. I'll take sticks and stones.” ThinkingBelieveReadingHurtPowerfulActingWoundsWritten WordReally PowerfulSticks And Stones Author:Mary-Louise Parker
