Quotes About Rejection

Empezamos a actuar para intentar complacer a mamá y a papá, a los profesores y a la iglesia. Fingimos ser lo que no éramos porque nos daba miedo que nos rechazaran.

Nos convertimos en una copia de las creencias de mamá, las creencias de papá, las creencias de la sociedad y las creencias de la religión.

She had come to him to escape her mother's world, a world where all bodies were equal. She had come to him to make her body unique, irreplaceble. But he, too had drawn an equal sign between her and the rest of them: he kissed them all alike, stroked them all alike, made no, absolutely no distiction between Tereza's body and the other bodies.
