“There is no hierarchy of suffering. There's nothing that makes my pain worse or better than yours.”
― Edith Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible

“How easily a life can become a litany of guilt and regret, a song that keeps echoing with the same chorus, with the inability to forgive ourselves. How easily the life we didn’t live becomes the only life we prize. How easily we are seduced by the fantasy that we are in control, that we were ever in control, that the things we could or should have doneor said have the power, if only we had done or said them, to cure pain, to erase suffering, to vanish loss. How easily we can cling to – worship – the choice we think we could or should have made.”
― Edith Eva Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible

“To forgive is to grieve—for what happened, for what didn’t happen—and to give up the need for a different past.”
― Edith Eger, The Choice

“But from this moment on, I understood that feelings, no matter how powerful, aren’t fatal. And they are temporary.”
― Edith Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible
