Kindle Notes & Highlights
“About love. About how we often mistake love for fireworks—for drama and dysfunction. But real love is very quiet, very still. It’s boring, if seen from the perspective of high drama. Love is deep and calm—and constant.
one of the hardest things to admit is that we weren’t loved when we needed it most. It’s a terrible feeling, the pain of not being loved.”
Remember, love that doesn’t include honesty doesn’t deserve to be called love.”
As babies, we are innocent sponges, blank slates, with only the most basic needs present: to eat, shit, love, and be loved.
The aim of therapy is not to correct the past, but to enable the patient to confront his own history, and to grieve over it. —ALICE MILLER
