“Some young people do not sufficiently understand the advantages of natural charms, and how much they would gain by trusting to them entirely. They weaken these gifts of heaven, so rare and fragile, by affected manners and an awkward imitation. Their tones and their gait are borrowed; they study their attitudes before the glass until they have lost all trace of natural manner, and, with all their pains, they please but little.” PeopleLittlesPainYoungLostHeavenNaturalAttitudeStudyPleaseGainsAdvantageGlassesMannersToneCharmAffectedFragileAwkwardImitationBorrowedGait Author:Jean de la Bruyere
“Robin [Williams] was a world treasure. As we mourn his tragic death, we must remember him for the great waves of laughter that he was able to illicit from us, how his humor and insights - though they came from a place of pain and uncertainty - connected us and reminded us of how flawed and fragile...how human we are. How we are capable of moments of inspired transcendence and others of unspeakable despair.” WorldHumansMomentsWisdomRealityAblePainRememberCommunityLeadershipComedyHuman NatureHealthDespairCapableLaughterUnityInspiredIndividualityWaveInsightConnectedTreasureUncertaintyTragicFragileFlawedTranscendenceMournRobinsUnspeakable Author:Glenn Close
“We are all vulnerable, and we will all, at some point in our lives... fall. We will all fall. We must carry this in our hearts... that what we have is special. That it can be taken from us, and when it is taken from us, we will be tested. We will be tested to our very souls. We will now all be tested. It is these times, it is this pain, that allows us to look inside ourselves.” LooksHeartSoulPainLife IsFallTakenOur LivesSpecialVulnerableFragileTestedFriday NightNight LightFriday Night LightsLife Is Fragile Author:Eric Taylor
“More than anything, my wish for you is this: That when your awful darkest days come, you will know you're not alone. Pain will tell you to keep quiet, but that's a lie. Life is fragile and we all break in different ways. I hope you know you can be honest. I hope you know that you can ask for help. Did you catch that? It is absolutely positively okay to ask for help. It simply means you're human. Help is real and it is possible; people find it every day.” PeopleKnowsWayHumansMeanDifferentRealHelpingPainLife IsLyingAsksWishBreakHonestQuietOkayAwfulBeing HonestDifferent WaysFragilePositivelyNot AloneMy WishLife Is FragileMy Wish For You Book:If You Feel Too Much: Thoughts on Things Found and Lost and Hoped For Source: If You Feel Too Much: Thoughts on Things Found and Lost and Hoped For
“The reason writers are such fragile beings, Marcus, is that they suffer from two sorts of emotional pain, which is twice as much as a normal human being: the heartache of love and the heartache of books. Writing a book is like loving someone.
