naomijade:

“Among the many paradoxes of human life, this is perhaps the most peculiar and consequential: We often behave in ways that are guaranteed to make us unhappy.”

- Sam Harris

“The central paradox of love: almost everything we do is to protect us from pain, but most of the pain we feel comes from this protective behaviour.” 

- Andrew G Marshall
