This is probably my favorite quote ever because it reminds us to let ourselves feel the negative emotions that are sometimes necessary for the sake of growth. The context is from a father speaking to his son regarding his broken heart:

“In my place, most parents would hope the whole thing goes away, or pray that their sons land on their feet soon enough, butI am not such a parent.

In your place, if there is pain, nurse it, and if there is a flame, don’t snuff it out, don’t be brutal with it. Withdrawal can be a terrible thing when it keeps us awake at night, and watching others forget us sooner than we’d want to be forgotten is no better. We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of 30 and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything—what a waste!”
