A lot of times, people are ashamed of feeling weak and being rejected - so it's liberating to be able to sing about those things. And it's amazing when other people don't feel alone because they hear it.

I grew up around strong women; weak men were pickled and salted. The women wouldn't waste time raising a weak boy.

Robert Jordan

I started painting my nails and started wearing some women's clothing, but that whole side of me always caused problems in my intimate relationships. There was a lot of shame attached to it. I'd talk to people I was dating about it but still feel ashamed.

Teddy Geiger

Jack London is a very generous description of my small hiking, bicycling, and canoeing habit. I myself feel like a weak urbanite a lot of the time, because lots of my friends are incredible outdoorsmen and women.

Mothers who are strong people, who can pursue a life of their own when it is time to let their children go, empower their childrenof either gender to feel free and whole.

Tionne Watkins

I think a lot of acting is about the removal of self-consciousness. The actor is going to be in front of a lot of people, and will naturally feel self-conscious. So a lot of the preparation for that is the removal of that idea. Like you embody or are connected to this character, therefore you can present this character in a way that eventually, when you come back to see it, you feel not exactly ashamed of.

Chiwetel Ejiofor

Compulsion is a behaviour that short-circuits you out of feeling ashamed, and then you feel triple-ashamed afterwards.

Arca

You're not weak at all. Wounded, but that's nothing to be ashamed of.

Melissa Marr

When I read that nobody should ever feel ashamed to be alone or to be in a crowd, I realized that I often felt ashamed of both of those things.

Elif Batuman

I want to encourage women not to feel weak. Don't be afraid to speak out.

Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters

Many women don't appreciate their form because it doesn't look like what they see on the front cover of a magazine. They feel ashamed of their bodies.
