We cease to be alive, feeling full of fear, bitterness, hatred and despair

Etty Hillesum

Anxiety isn't your fault, but recovery is your responsibility

Fear is perfectly natural and nothing to be ashamed of. The trick to mastering it is controlling your imagination.

Ernest Hemingway

In the meantime, for every minute of the day that I am free from pain, either mental or physical, I shall celebrate life

Joan Wyndham

“I told you in the course of this paper that Shakespeare had a sister; but do not look for her in Sir Sidney Lee’s life of the poet. She died young—alas, she never wrote a word. She lies buried where the omnibuses now stop, opposite the Elephant and Castle. Now my belief is that this poet who never wrote a word and was buried at the cross–roads still lives. She lives in you and in me, and in many other women who are not here to–night, for they are washing up the dishes and putting the children to bed. But she lives; for great poets do not die; they are continuing presences; they need only the opportunity to walk among us in the flesh.

A Room of One's Own- Virginia Woolf

We live in others. We live in words.
