“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection.”
― Anonymous, The Bhagavad Gita

“We kissed each other until we were too tired to keep going. I could still feel him holding back. It was my penance for what I had done to him. All I could do was hope the walls would fall and that I could have all of him again, but I was always leaving and he was tired of watching me walk away. We both knew that I couldn’t stay and that he couldn’t come with me, but still, we couldn’t let go.”
― Kimberly Novosel, Loved

“Holding back for a while and taking up some stirring moments can inspire us to ignore all futile prerogatives and rouse us to “put ourselves on hold.â€� By stepping out of our inner shell and discovering the outer world, we create room for other beings, learn how they think, experience what they feel, and understand what kindles them.”
― Erik Pevernagie, Stilling our Mind

“You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.”

“Ares’s power was causing my anger. He’d love it if I attacked. I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction.”
― Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief

“I am pointing to you that under these conditions--mental strain, physical malaise--it is highly probable that dislikes that were before merely mild and disagreements that were trivial might suddenly assume a more serious note. The result of pretending to be a more amiable, a more forgiving, a more high-minded person than one really is, has sooner or later the effect of causing one to behave as a more disagreeable, a more ruthless and an altogether more unpleasant person than is actually the case!
If you dam the stream of natural behavior, mon ami, sooner or later the dam bursts and cataclysm occurs.”
― Agatha Christie, Hercule Poirot's Christmas

“She felt it all right at the back of her throat, like a bomb â€� or a tiger â€� sitting on the base of her tongue. Keeping it in made her eyes water.”

“For your own professionalism, reputation & appearance, it really is ok to NOT post every #video, picture, event or show on social media.

“We're taught and trained to hold it all inside, to not feel the beauty of the innocence of letting it out when and how we feel it.
And we do; we do for the fear of avoiding the stigma of weakness, until it breaks us from the inside, slowly and silently, and there is "little" or "nothing" left of us.
Those who are courageous to hold on, learn to be strong and proficiently wave off the numerous darts as they come.
Do they, really?
It takes just one "planned" move, and all the impenetrable walls come crashing down.”
― Ufuoma Apoki

“Of course I contradict myself. Why else would I often bite my tongue and attempt to put the fire out?”
― Jen Tindugan-Adoviso

― Amita Parikh, The Circus Train

“I was afraid to be confident for a long time. I had to quit second guessing everything because I worried so much about being wrong or worse, offending anyone. It was never intentional, but I wasted far too much energy and time holding myself back.”

“Had any children? the doctor asks. I say No.
And close my lips—the other half of the answer.
If this were a party, I'd feel I had to go on,
even if the other person hadn't asked
Why not? Or Are you planning on having any?
They feel free to ask. And almost always, I explain
something about wanting them but not enough,
or how I wish I had two lives: in one of them
I'd have a child by now. But it's no good,
not doing something never sounds as real as doing it. I seem to stand in for reserve,
my life a keeping back, a state of being
not in active service.”
― Nancy Eimers, No Moon

“Telling you how I know…what I know…it could make things worse than they already are…for all of us”
― Dennis Sharpe, Saturday Night To Infinity

“All right, all right," he said, with that gesture I'd come to hate: two open palms facing me and patting the air, as if pushing me away, pushing me down, pushing any tears I might be preparing to cry back into their ducts.”
― Kathleen Rooney, Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk

“In the war zone of arguments, debates, criticism - silence is the safe house.”
― Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

“She slept back-to-back with Fenris at night. No one commented. Sometimes he moved and she knew that he was also awake in the darkness, but neither of them quite had the nerve to act on it, not with Agnes and the dust-wife there. I could roll over. I could put my arm around his waist. I could...”
― T. Kingfisher, Nettle & Bone
