• “Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.”

    - Fred Rogers

  • "For the imbalances affecting the world today are in fact a symptom of a deeper imbalance rooted in the human heart."

    - Pope Francis

  • "Nobody escapes being wounded. We are all wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. The main question is not, 'How can we hide our wounds?' so we don't have to be embarrassed, but 'How can we put our woundedness in the service of others?' When our wounds cease to be a source of shame, and become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers."

    - Henri Nouwen

  • "The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart."

    - John Eldredge

  • “Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

    - Carl Jung
