Weakness

Weakness gathers quotes that look closely at the places where strength frays: fear, doubt, fatigue, longing, and the quiet habits that undo us. Here you’ll find lines that admit vulnerability without apology, tracing how a single hesitation can shape a life, how pride can masquerade as resilience, and how tenderness can be mistaken for failure. Writers in this category explore weakness as a private weather—sometimes shameful, sometimes clarifying, often shared—revealing the human need to be seen at our least defended. Expect reflections on moral frailty, broken resolve, dependence, and the courage it takes to ask for help. These quotations resonate because they name what we hide, and in naming it, make room for change.
