"More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate." ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
"We must have a pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie." ― David Mamet, Boston Marriage
"To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan and not quite enough time." ― Leonard Bernstein
"I was a little excited but mostly blorft. "Blorft" is an adjective I just made up that means 'Completely overwhelmed but proceeding as if everything is fine and reacting to the stress with the torpor of a possum.' I have been blorft every day for the past seven years." ― Tina Fey, Bossypants
"The mind can go either direction under stress—toward positive or toward negative: on or off. Think of it as a spectrum whose extremes are unconsciousness at the negative end and hyperconsciousness at the positive end. The way the mind will lean under stress is strongly influenced by training." ― Frank Herbert, Dune
"If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person." ― Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Letters from a Stoic
"If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good." ― Shantideva

"APPLY WITHIN
You once told me You wanted to find Yourself in the world - And I told you to First apply within, To discover the world within you.
You once told me You wanted to save The world from all its wars - And I told you to First save yourself From the world, And all the wars You put yourself Through.
APPLY WITHIN by Suzy Kassem" ― Suzy Kassem
"Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is... The only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds. " ― Dan Millman
"Not all addictions are rooted in abuse or trauma, but I do believe they can all be traced to painful experience. A hurt is at the centre of all addictive behaviours. It is present in the gambler, the Internet addict, the compulsive shopper and the workaholic. The wound may not be as deep and the ache not as excruciating, and it may even be entirely hidden—but it's there. As we'll see, the effects of early stress or adverse experiences directly shape both the psychology and the neurobiology of addiction in the brain." ― Gabor Mate, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction
"PTSD is a whole-body tragedy, an integral human event of enormous proportions with massive repercussions." ― Susan Pease Banitt
"Where'd the days go, when all we did was play? And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all just a run and a jump into a harmless fall" ― Paolo Nutini
"Reality is the leading cause of stress amongst those in touch with it." ― Jane Wagner
"How well I know with what burning intensity you live. You have experienced many lives already, including several you have shared with me- full rich lives from birth to death, and you just have to have these rest periods in between." ― anais nin
"Toxic relationships are dangerous to your health; they will literally kill you. Stress shortens your lifespan. Even a broken heart can kill you. There is an undeniable mind-body connection. Your arguments and hateful talk can land you in the emergency room or in the morgue. You were not meant to live in a fever of anxiety; screaming yourself hoarse in a frenzy of dreadful, panicked fight-or-flight that leaves you exhausted and numb with grief. You were not meant to live like animals tearing one another to shreds. Don't turn your hair gray. Don't carve a roadmap of pain into the sweet wrinkles on your face. Don't lay in the quiet with your heart pounding like a trapped, frightened creature. For your own precious and beautiful life, and for those around you — seek help or get out before it is too late. This is your wake-up call!" ― Bryant McGill
"The only difference between a rut and a grave are the dimensions." ― Ellen Glasgow
"Just when you feel you have no time to relax, know that this is the moment you most need to make time to relax." ― Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive
"At such times, the heart of man turns instictively towards his Maker. In prosperity, and whenever there is nothing to injure or make him afraid, he remembers Him not, and is ready to defy Him; but place him in the midst of dangers, cut him off from human aid, let the grave open before him, then it is, in the time of his tribulation, that the scoffer and unbelieving man turns to God for help, feeling there is no other hope, or refuge, or safety, save in his protecting arm." ― Solomon Northup, Twelve Years a Slave
"For kids like me, the part of the brain that deals with stress and conflict is always activated...We are constantly ready to fight or flee, because there is a constant exposure to the bear, whether that bear is an alcoholic dad or an unhinged mom (p228)....I see conflict and I run away or prepare for battle. (p246)" ― J.D. Vance, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis
"As her analyst had told her: the deeper buried the distress, the further into the body it went. The digestive system was about as far as it could go to hide." ― Richard Matheson, What Dreams May Come
"Garraty wondered how it would be, to lie in the biggest, dustiest library silence of all, dreaming endless, thoughtless dreams behind your gummed-down eyelids, dressed forever in your Sunday suit. No worries about money, success, fear, joy, pain, sorrow, sex, or love. Absolute zero. No father, mother, girlfriend, lover. The dead are orphans. No company but the silence like a moth's wing. An end to the agony of movement, to the long nightmare of going down the road. The body in peace, stillness, and order. The perfect darkness of death.
How would that be? Just how would that be?" ― Stephen King, The Long Walk
"A chorus of voices exhorts kids to study science. No one stops to ask whether it is inhumane to force adolescents to spend the bulk of their time studying subjects most of them hate. When skilled workers are put out of a job by technical advances and have to undergo "retraining," no one asks whether it is humiliating for them to be pushed around in this way. It is simply taken for granted that everyone must bow to technical necessity, and for good reason: If human needs were put before technical necessity there would be economic problems, unemployment, shortages or worse. The concept of "mental health" in our society is defined largely by the extent to which an individual behaves in accord with the needs of the system and does so without showing signs of stress." ― Theodore J. Kaczynski, Industrial Society and Its Future
