Younger Self Quotes

• It's very common to think that we're always evolving, that we've changed so much from our younger selves, that within decades we've transformed into these different people. We like to think that. I feel in some ways that I am still so much my younger self. There are ways that I'm different: I feel like I'm wiser and kinder. But I think a lot of the impulses are still the same. I learned that.

• Me gustaría cambiarlo todo, pero obviamente no todo. He sido increíblemente afortunado. Supongo que todo el mundo lo haría, pero yo volvería a mi yo más joven y le diría: "Relájate. Tómatelo con calma. Relájate. No estés tan ansioso por todo. Intenta vivir el día. Intenta que el día de hoy no te lo robe la ansiedad por el ayer o el mañana".

• Si tuviera que dar un consejo a mi yo más joven, creo que sería que hay que reírse de las cosas, de las cosas que te asustan, de las cosas que te intimidan, de las cosas que te hacen daño...

• Me acomplejaba ser tan larguirucha, ser yo misma. Agachaba la cabeza, inventaba excusas para no salir. Me miraba al espejo y me odiaba. Pensaba que era repugnante. Lloré constantemente de los 11 a los 16 años. Si pudiera decirle algo a mi yo más joven, sería que aprendiera a amar sus defectos. No pasa nada por mirarte al espejo y sentirte segura de ti misma.

• ¿No es curioso cómo engorda un libro cuando lo has leído varias veces?". Mo había dicho... "Como si algo quedara entre las páginas cada vez que lo lees. Sentimientos, pensamientos, sonidos, olores... y entonces, cuando vuelves a mirar el libro muchos años después, te encuentras a ti mismo allí también, un yo ligeramente más joven, ligeramente diferente, como si el libro te hubiera conservado como una flor prensada... extraño y familiar a la vez.

• I think what I would say to my younger self, and probably to younger, just starting-out writers is that a lot of times you're just afraid to put yourself out there, and it's uncomfortable because it's working up the courage to do something, to push yourself to do those things.

• I hate mirrors; every time I look in one I see things that could be improved. If I could give my younger self any advice it would be: ‘Take a deep breath, the world is not ending – and do something with your hair.’ I had the same haircut from when I was a toddler all the way through high school, it was this weird side-parting. I didn’t like change.

• All you do is you go back to the Maida Vale Studios at BBC in London, and it feels like you're in a spaceship. It feels like you're in 2001 or something like that. It's massive and well constructed and highly technologically advanced and occupied by these wise scientists, engineers, and producers. Listening to it, it just doesn't sound like me - that's a younger self that didn't know who he was or what he was doing. I can't identify with a nebulous cloud.

• I was in my early thirties writing about my early twenties, so there was this way of seeing my younger self from enough of a distance to have perspective but also not to feel that I had to protect myself. My dreams for myself then would have undersold myself in a way.

Y nuestras pérdidas incluyen no sólo nuestras separaciones y partidas de aquellos a quienes amamos, sino nuestras pérdidas conscientes e inconscientes de sueños románticos, expectativas imposibles, ilusiones de libertad y poder, ilusiones de seguridad -- y la pérdida de nuestro propio yo más joven, el yo que pensaba que siempre sería inarrugable e invulnerable e inmortal.

• As I look back, I feel a touch of pride at my younger self's dedication to literature, which gave him the strength of mind to resist the blandishments of the enemies of promise.
