Extracts from various book

From the book The Devil and Miss Prym by Paulo Coelha

".. Playing the part of a charitable soul was only for those who were afraid of taking a stand in life. It is always far easier to have faith in your own goodness than to confront others and fight for your rights. It is always easier to hear an insult and not retaliate than have the courage to fight back against someone stronger than yourself; we can always say we're not hurt by the stones others throw at us, and it's only at night - when we're alone and our wife or our husband or our school friend is asleep - that we can silently grieve over our own cowardice."

"Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time."

Extract from book Wasted by Marya Hornbacher

"An environment that supports autonomy, quoth the shrinks, will foster a greater sense of self-esteem, of self determination, of separateness from other people - in short, if your family assumes you are capable of doing things yourself, you will internalize that assumption and act accordingly. You will develop a firm sense of self, a belief in your own capability. Whereas if you grow up in a controlling environment, where yor ability to make decisions and act independently is constantly being undermined, you are likely to internalize a deep level of self-doubt and "develop a sense of self-worth contingent upon extrinsic rewards and the evalution of others.""

"Never believe an eating-disordered person who says she hates food. It's a lie. Denied food, your body and brain will begin to obsess about it. It's the survival instinct, a constant reminder to eay, one that you try harder and harder to ignore, though you never can. Instead of eating, you simply think about food all the time. You dream about it, you stare at it, but you do not eat it. When you get to the hospital, you have to eat, and as truly terrifying as it is, it is also welcome. Food is the sun and the moon and the stars, the center of gravity, the love of your life. Being forced to eat is the most welcome punishment there is."

Cheers! may this extract be useful to anyone who read this :)
