only a small portion QUOTES

1 " How remarkable we are in our ability to hide things from ourselves - our conscious minds only a small portion of our actual minds, jellyfish floating on a vast dark sea of knowing and deciding. "

― Andrew Sean Greer , The Story of a Marriage

2 " Man is not the owner of mind but only a user. The nature owns mind, man hires only a small portion of it that too for a brief period. "

3 " One of the things that strikes me most though is how some people don't realise they're self-harming. The phrase 'self-harm' brings up thoughts of 'cutting', but that's only a small portion of it. When you drink excessively to drown your sorrows to the point you throw up and can't see straight and/or, like a girl at my school, ended up being driven to hospital to have her stomach pumped, you've brought harm to yourself. If you take drugs to feel numb and it becomes an addiction that you can't break, you've self-harmed. When you starve yourself or binge eat to fit the latest fashions, you're pushing your body further than it can go.
We need to start treating ourselves how we deserve to be treated, even if you feel that no one else does. Prove to the world you ARE worth something by treating yourself with the utmost respect and hope that other people will follow your example. And even if they don't, at least one person in the world is treating you well: YOU. "

4 " Adolescence is when girls experience social pressure to put aside their authentic selves and to display only a small portion of their gifts. "

― Mary Pipher , Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls
