Writing to Awaken Quotes

“As psychologist James Hillman reminds us, “Our lives are determined less by our childhood than by the traumatic way we have learned to remember our childhoods.”
― Mark Matousek, Writing to Awaken: A Journey of Truth, Transformation, and Self-Discovery

“Solitude is different from loneliness. Solitude is rich, inspiring, and restful; replete with space and possibility. Loneliness is empty, pathetic, and enervating; bereft of power and potential. Lonely people expect others to fill their inner void, whereas lovers of solitude—which is what I invite you to become on this journey—recognize that time alone is precious, a refuge where you can practice meeting yourself in the mirror of the blank page.”
