I’ve struggled with depression, and the signs that I was falling apart – having heart palpitations at 4 A.M. – were there for a long time before I paid attention. Even when my psychiatrist gave me a questionnaire, I found myself trying to circle the answers that made me seem like I wasn’t a wreck. I’ve since learned to listen to my body.

I was born in Ballaghadreen, but I grew up in Galway, and when I went to the University College of Galway, I became involved in the drama society there and started directing plays. Garry Hynes Read Quote
People live, work, walk, play, shop, study, and eat with other people. There are few desert dwellers who live alone without depending in some way on people. Mother Angelica Read Quote
I feel like, in the Czars, for example, I was afraid. I couldn’t express myself. I didn’t have a connection to myself. That’s one of the huge reasons why it was such a difficult existence. I put a lot of that on myself. I couldn’t access myself. I couldn’t look at myself, because I was too ashamed. John Grant Read Quote
My understanding of my faith is that – through a Christian framework – part of what we are called to do is to lay down our own self-interests, after the model of divinity that comes into this world in the form of Christ and lays down his life. And in order to do that, you have to care about something or someone more than yourself. Pete Buttigieg Read Quote
This is a work of fiction. All the characters in it, human and otherwise, are imaginary, excepting only certain of the fairy folk, whom it might be unwise to offend by casting doubts on their existence. Or lack thereof. Neil Gaiman Read Quote
If I go anywhere, and I don’t have my coffee, I don’t drink coffee. When I travel, I carry it with me – and I ask hotels to grind it and brew it for me if I can’t have it in my room myself. I’m dedicated that way. Grace Hightower Read Quote
I was on the dole once. I loved it. It was only for a couple of years, when I was 20 or 21 and playing in a band. Back then, this was something young folk did – you got your rent paid, a little bit of money to live on, and you loafed around, wrote songs, rehearsed and dreamed of playing Wembley Stadium. John Niven Read Quote
I’m not a fan of people making up lies, and I do feel I owe it to people to know what the truth is. Saikat Chakrabarti Read Quote
I believe in lust at first sight; I don’t know about love. For me, I think it takes more than a glance. But who knows? Maybe it’ll happen. Ashley Roberts Read Quote
