Marya Hornbacher People Quotations

I think many people with a chronic illness would prefer not to have their chronic illness, simply because it's high maintenance.

You can't teach an ear, you can't teach talent, but you can teach people who have those things not to just fly by the seat of their pants.

Some people who are obsessed with food become gourmet chefs. Others become eating disorders.

I do not remember very many things from the inside out. I do not remember what it felt like to touch things, or how bathwater traveled over my skin. I did not like to be touched, but it was a strange dislike. I did not like to be touched because I craved it too much. I wanted to be held very tight so I would not break. Even now, when people lean down to touch me, or hug me, or put a hand on my shoulder, I hold my breath. I turn my face. I want to cry.

People take the feeling of full for granted.
