Ray Bradbury Quotes

I think when people are repressing things, or burying things, that can manifest in all sorts of ways.

There's a television show, 'Hoarders,' where people have those homes filled with stuff. Emotionally, in our minds, we get so filled with resentments where we've got a story about absolutely everything.

I was like a trashcan. I took everything.

The past is strapped to our backs. We do not have to see it; we can always feel it. People gather bundles of sticks to build bridges they never cross. People in distress will sometimes prefer a problem that is familiar to a solution that is not.

The soul was not cured, it was as full as a clothes closet of dresses that did not fit.

I don't know how I feel right now.

If you are carrying strong feelings about something that happened in your past, they may hinder your ability to live in the present.

I've got a lot of ham in me.

Sometimes I don't understand why I'm sitting here.

Emotionally, in our minds, we get so filled with resentments where we've got a story about absolutely everything.

Even with me, there are so many things I have bottled up.

I have never met anyone who wasn't confused inside.

Mum had pumped me so full of anger, I couldn't throw it off.

I think it's always interesting to me how we keep secrets from the ones we love the most. You could be so close to someone, but still there was something you can't express, you can't tell them, because it's almost too painful and too hard for you to articulate yourself, because you don't fully understand it.

I really believe it's the moments we can't talk about that become the rest of our lives. It's the moments we can't process by telling a story that destroy us in the end.

Sometimes I can feel my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.

People carry their secrets in hidden places, not on their faces. They carry suffering on their faces. Also bitterness if there’s room.

Being angry and resentful of someone is like letting them live rent-free in your head.
