“We falter from childhood amidst shames and fears, we move in closed spaces where stale tradition enervates, we grow hysterical over success and failure, and so by surrounding instinct with terror, we prepare the soul for weakness.” SoulMovingGrowsSpaceChildhoodWeaknessTraditionShameInstinctTerrorSuccess And FailureStaleHysterical Book:Walter Lippmann and the American Century.

“I would hate to think I'm promoting sadness as an aesthetic. But I grew up in not just a family but a town and a culture where sadness is something you're taught to feel shame about. You end up chronically desiring what can be a very sentimental idea of love and connection. A lot of my work has been about trying to make a space for sadness.” ThinkingFeelsTryingHas BeensIdeasEndsHateCultureSpaceSadnessTaughtGrewGrew UpConnectionsTownsShameAestheticSentimentalPromoting Author:Mike Mills

“Our stories are not meant for everyone. Hearing them is a privilege, and we should always ask ourselves this before we share: "Who has earned the right to hear my story?" If we have one or two people in our lives who can sit with us and hold space for our shame stories, and love us for our strengths and struggles, we are incredibly lucky. If we have a friend, or small group of friends, or family who embraces our imperfections, vulnerabilities, and power, and fills us with a sense of belonging, we are incredibly lucky.” PeopleIfsShouldTwoStoriesAsksSpaceStruggleOur LivesGroupsShareLuckyAnd LoveShameEmbracePrivilegeHearingVulnerabilityBelongingImperfectionSmall GroupsGroup Of FriendsPeople In Our Lives Author:Brené Brown
“No one, it has been said, will ever look at the Moon in the same way again. More significantly can one say that no one will ever look at the earth in the same way. Man had to free himself from earth to perceive both its diminutive place in a solar system and its inestimable value as a life -fostering planet. As earthmen, we may have taken another step into adulthood. We can see our planet earth with detachment, with tenderness, with some shame and pity, but at last also with love.” MenWayLooksMayHas BeensSaidEarthLastsValuesSpaceStepsTakenPlanetsMoonShamePityPerceiveTendernessAdulthoodOur PlanetDetachmentSpace ExplorationPlanet EarthSolar SystemFosteringOur Planet Earth Author:Anne Morrow Lindbergh
