Clarissa Pinkola Estés

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

“I hope you will go out and let stories, that is life, happen to you,and that you will work with these stories from your life--not someone else's life--water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom. That is the work. The only work.”

“Go out in the woods, go out. If you don't go out in the woods nothing will ever happen and your life will never begin.”

“Failure is a greater teacher than success”
