The Jungian therapist taught me the difference between the ego and the shadow. I realized I'd been so busy being a good girl that I'd completely detached from my shadow. It's something we all have, and it's where all the creative juices are.

Grieving is like being ill. You think the entire world revolves around you and it doesn't.

If your mind isn't open, keep your mouth shut too.

The struggle is what teaches you.
Sue Grafton
Image
You kill people you hate or you kill in rage or you kill to get even, but you don't kill someone you're indifferent to.

The critical lessons in life hold sway whether you like it or not.
Sue Grafton
Image
All of us are subjected to somebody else's power at some point. So once in a while you kiss ass. So what? Either you make your peace with that early, or you end up living your life as a crank and a misfit.
Sue Grafton

That's the way the system works. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.

Personally, I'd rather grow old alone than in the company of anyone I've met so far. I don't experience myself as lonely, incomplete, or unfulfilled, but I don't talk about that much. It seems to piss people off--especially men. (Kinsey Millhone)
