Gretchen Rubin Ways Quotations

Skillful conversationalists can explore disagreements and make points in ways that feel constructive and positive rather than combative or corrective.

I'm always trying to figure out ways to keep hold of memories. My one-sentence journal, for instance.

Putting myself into categories is fun, and I think it also gives me insight into my own nature. When I see myself more clearly, I can more easily see ways that I might do things differently, to make myself happier. Categories can be unhelpful, however, when they become too all-defining, or when they become an excuse.

I love finding - or inventing - ways to categorize people.
