Collette O'Mahony
“Like the moon
I have learned
to be beautiful
in darkness.”
Collette O'Mahony, The Soul in Words: A collection of Poetry & Verse

Nikita Gill
“Some days I am more wolf than woman, and I am still learning how to stop apologizing for my wild.”
Nikita Gill

Adrienne Rich
“Women have been driven mad, "gaslighted," for centuries by the refutation of our experience and our instincts in a culture which validates only male experience. The truth of our bodies and our minds has been mystified to us. We therefore have a primary obligation to each other: not to undermine each others' sense of reality for the sake of expediency; not to gaslight each other.

Women have often felt insane when cleaving to the truth of our experience. Our future depends on the sanity of each of us, and we have a profound stake, beyond the personal, in the project of describing our reality as candidly and fully as we can to each other.”
Adrienne Rich, On Lies, Secrets, and Silence. Selected Prose 1966-1978

W.S. Merwin
“I needed my mistakes
in their order
to get me here”
W.S. Merwin, The Moon Before Morning

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
