“Like all collectors, I exist in a perpetual state of want that bears no reasonable relationship to the quantity of unread books mounting up on my shelves.”

“What would it look like to become a welcoming home? A place where different stories and beliefs and beings could potluck and laugh and share? What would it look like to come home to ourselves? To buy flowers to place on the table of our own desires? To tend to the body as if it were a room that needed to be cleaned, its windows opened to the linden-scented spring air? The Empress card invites in the masculine. We do not have to rule the home. We can relax and become the home.”
― Sophie Strand, The Flowering Wand: Rewilding the Sacred Masculine

“What Slavoj said was this: People are born from the womb of the world with different sensitivities, and the world needs every single one of you to experience it fully, so that it might be fully experienced. If even one person were left out, the world would be diminished. And he said you don’t have to worry about being creative. The world is creative, endlessly so, and its generative nature is part of who you are. The world has given you the eyes to see the beauty of its mountains and rivers, and the ears to hear the music of its wind and sea, and the voice you need to tell it. We books are evidence that this is so. We are here to help you.”
― Ruth Ozeki, The Book of Form and Emptiness

“But for a society buit on exploitation, there is no greater threat than having no one left to oppress.”
