    Jane Austen

    Jane Austen
    “You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope...I have loved none but you.”
    Jane Austen, Persuasion

  • #7
    Jane Austen
    “I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W.

    I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father's house this evening or never.”
    Jane Austen, Persuasion

    “The monsters were never
    under my bed.

    the monster has been me.”

    “Defined by no man, you are your own story,
    blazing through the world, turning history into herstory.
    And when they dare to tell you about
    all the things you cannot be,
    you smile and tell them,
    "I am both war and woman and you cannot stop me”
    Nikita Gill

    Nikita Gill
    “They will ask us in the future how it happened,
    who allowed it, how could we just ignore it
    when it stormed in so loudly,
    like a thunderous beast,
    could we not hear it?
    This half beast half demon sitting
    outside our doors, growling,
    baring teeth, ready to rip out
    the throats of whole people
    erase the marginalized,
    rip into the bones of the vulnerable,
    why did we just sit there and watch
    helplessly, asking no questions,
    show them the evidence of
    the thunderous applause
    each act of cruelty is greeted with,
    show them the raucous laughter
    with which they celebrate the pain
    each marginalized person feels
    as their rights and liberties are taken.

    Let them see for themselves
    The bare bones of truth
    until they realise, like us, horrified,
    "The cruelty was the point.
    My God, the cruelty was the point.”
    Nikita Gill

    Nikita Gill
    “Tell your daughters how you love your body.
    Tell them how they must love theirs.

    Tell them to be proud of every bit of themselves—
    from their tiger stripes to the soft flesh of their thighs,
    whether there is a little of them or a lot,
    whether freckles cover their face or not,
    whether their curves are plentiful or slim,
    whether their hair is thick, curly, straight, long or short.

    Tell them how they inherited
    their ancestors, souls in their smiles,
    that their eyes carry countries
    that breathed life into history,
    that the swing of their hips
    does not determine their destiny.

    Tell them never to listen when bodies are critiqued.
    Tell them every woman’s body is beautiful
    because every woman’s soul is unique.”
    Nikita Gill, The Girl and the Goddess: Stories and Poems of Divine Wisdom

    Nikita Gill
    “They keep saying that beautiful is something a girl needs to be. But honestly? Forget that. Don’t be beautiful. Be angry, be intelligent, be witty, be klutzy, be interesting, be funny, be adventurous, be crazy, be talented - there are an eternity of other things to be other than beautiful. And what is beautiful anyway but a set of letters strung together to make a word? Be your own definition of amazing, always. That is so much more important than anything beautiful, ever.”
    Nikita Gill

    “The saddest word
    in the whole wide world
    is the word almost.

    He was almost in love.
    She was almost good for him.
    He almost stopped her.
    She almost waited.
    He almost lived.
    They almost made it.”
    Nikita Gill
