“My self-wroth is not linked to your cruel words and actions.

My self-esteem is not affected by your deliberate attempts to destroy my character.

You have no power over me.

You will not silence me.”
― Marina Cohen, Dear Bully: Seventy Authors Tell Their Stories

“Hell is the absence of the people you long for.”
― Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven

“...love is a skill, not just an enthusiasm.”
― Alain de Botton, The Course of Love

“No more Internet. No more social media, no more scrolling through litanies of dreams and nervous hopes and photographs of lunches, cries for help and expressions of contentment and relationship-status updates with heart icons whole or broken, plans to meet up later, pleas, complaints, desires, pictures of babies dressed as bears or peppers for Halloween. No more reading and commenting on the lives of others, and in so doing, feeling slightly less alone in the room. No more avatars.”
― Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven
