“But it is impossible for anyone to say ‘I am sacrificing myself’ without feeling bitterness.”

Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with absolute truth.

If you point out that they’re walking in shit they scream it’s you that have dirty feet.

If so few female geniuses are found in history, it is because society denies them any means of expression.

All success cloaks a surrender.

Girls are weighed down by restrictions, boys with demands – two equally harmful disciplines.

I am too intelligent, too demanding, and too resourceful for anyone to be able to take charge of me entirely. No one knows me or loves me completely. I have only myself.

I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth – and truth rewarded me.

Life is occupied in both perpetuating itself and in surpassing itself; if all it does is maintain itself, then living is only not dying.

Change your life today. Don’t gamble on the future, act now, without delay.

The oppressor would not be so strong if he did not have accomplices among the oppressed.

What would Prince Charming have for occupation if he had not to awaken the Sleeping beauty?

There is no justification for present existence other than its expansion into an indefinitely open future.

Oppression tries to defend itself by its utility.

To catch a husband is an art; to hold him is a job.

If the feminine issue is so absurd, is because the male’s arrogance made it a discussion.

All oppression creates a state of war. And this is no exception.

The easiest way to be reborn is to live and feel life everyday.

We were purple, one day, we felt whole the next day split apart into red and blue.

I can feel guilty about the past, apprehensive about the future, but only in the present can I act. The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.

I like to write when I feel spiteful. It is like having a good sneeze.

Kindness is one of the best gifts you can bestow, We know that inherently that feels great.

Should I be grateful or should I curse the fact that despite all misfortune I can still feel love, an unearthly love but still for earthly objects.

I felt a deep grief that crouched and stayed still as if it was afraid to move.

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
