Shame

“

We need never be ashamed of our tears.

Charles Dickens

“

If you put shame in a Petri dish, it needs three things to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence and judgment.

Brené Brown

“

You cannot talk about race without talking about privilege. And when people start talking about privilege, they get paralyzed by shame.

Brené Brown

“

It's not all bad. Heightened self-consciousness, apartness, an inability to join in, physical shame and self-loathing—they are not all bad. Those devils have been my angels. Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made and unmade me.

Stephen Fry

“

Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before--more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.

Charles Dickens
