“She had a perpetual sense (…), of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.”

— Virginia Woolf, from Mrs Dalloway

“Writing made me feel wiser than I actually was. Wise and sad. That was what I thought writers should be. I was sad anyway, much sadder than the sentences I wrote. I was a sad girl impersonating a sad girl.”

— Deborah Levy, from Things I Don’t Want to Know: “Sheer Egoism”

“Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Their opinions aren’t your problems. You stay kind, committed to love and free in your authenticity. No matter what they do or say, don’t you doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just keep shining like you always do.”

— Scott Stabile

Some people will always judge you on the say so of others. Pay no mind to them. They are weak of heart and soul, and can’t think for themselves. It’s not your problem to solve.

I hate when people acknowledge my feelings, I love so hard but when they mention it I panic, I feel weak. I don’t want people to know that I love them. I don’t feel like I’m supposed to love anyone, so when I do it just feels wrong.
