“I pop a beautiful sentence into my mouth and suck it like a fruit drop.”
― Bohumil Hrabal

“Beauty is but skin deep, ugly to the bone. And when beauty fades away, ugly claims its own.”
― Dorothy West, The Wedding

“Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous.”
― Pier Paolo Pasolini

“To search for power within myself means I must be willing to move through being afraid to whatever lies beyond. If I look at my most vulnerable places and acknowledge the pain I have felt, I can remove the source of that pain from my enemies' arsenals. My history cannot be used to feather my enemies' arrows then, and that lessens their power over me. Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me. I am who I am, doing what I came to do, acting upon you like a drug or a chisel to remind you of your me-ness, as I discover you in myself.”
― Audre Lorde
