I was reviewing some pro-ana sites this morning. It's not easy looking at and reading sites where young women talk about starving themselves to fit into some skeletal ideal woman they think they need to be in order to be happy.
Here are some quotes from another of the sites. I edited out others, these were of interest to me.
"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take youre eyes off your goal." ~ Henry Ford
"It is never too late to be who you might have been." ~ George Eliot
"Out of the strain of the doing, into the peace of the done." ~ Julia Woodruff
"Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain." ~ Unknown
"Success isn't a result of spontaneous sombustion. You must set yourself on fire." ~ Arnold H Glasow
"Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it." ~ Unknown
"One half of knowing what you want is knowing what you give up before you get it." ~ Sidney Howard
