Judith Guest quotes about
despair skins together
The small seed of despair cracks open and sends experimental tendrils upward to the fragile skin of calm holding him together.
pain feelings feels
Feeling is not selective, I keep telling you that. You can’t feel pain, you aren’t gonna feel anything else, either.
action life-is ordinary-people
Life is not a series of pathetic, meaningles actions. Some of them are so far from pathetic, so far from meaningless as to be beyond reason, maybe beyond forgiveness.
good-night mean insomnia
For me being depressed means you can spend all day in bed, and still not get a good night's rest.
break-up soul-and-body two
Two separate, distinct personalities, not separate at all, but inextricably bound, soul and body and mind, to each other, how did we get so far apart so fast?
life depression people
People that keep stiff upper lips find that it's hard to smile.
growing-up political growing

writing people

expectations people needs

who-i-am ideas giving
It's always obvious to me when someone is looking at me with an idea of who I am and hoping that that's the person I'm going to be. No matter how subtle it is, it's there, and you want to give them who they really want. But it ain't me.
success who-i-am
My success is not who I am.
work two get-back

tears fabric social
I've never been one to tear the social fabric.
wealth monotonous
... the monotonous beauty of wealth.
