I don't really like being in the centre of attention. I'm not used to that. All my life I have been like the invisible girl at the back that no one sees or listens to.

Greta Thunberg

Usually people don't see beyond the surface of things and cannot understand more other than the obvious; they are used to judging a book by its cover, and that is why they don't hesitate to bully.

Maria Karvouni

It is worse to stay where one does not belong at all than to wander about lost for a while looking for the psychic and soulful kinship one requires.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Nobody can tell you if what you're doing is good, meaningful or worthwhile. The more compelling the path, the more lonely it is.

Hugh MacLeod

Ordinary men hate solitude. But the master makes use of it, embracing his aloneness, realizing he is one with the whole universe.

Lao Tzu

Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky
