Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
“There is no higher religion than the truth.”
H. P. Blavatsky

Mary Wollstonecraft
“Women are told from their infancy, and taught by the example of their mothers, that a little knowlegde of human weakness, justly termed cunning, softness of temper; outward obedience, and a scrupulous attention to a puerile kind of proptiety, will obtain for them the protection of man; and should they be beautiful, every thing else is needless, for, at least, twenty years of their lives.”
Mary Wollstonecraft

Warsan Shire
“You haven’t healed, I can tell from how cruel you are.”
Warsan Shire

Mary Wollstonecraft
“Gracious Creator of the whole human race! hast thou created such a being as woman, who can trace thy wisdom in thy works, and feel that thou alone art by thy nature, exalted above her-for no better purpose? Can she believe that she was only made to submit to man her equal; a being, who, like her, was sent into the world to acquire virtue? Can she consent to be occupied merely to please him; merely to adorn the earth, when her soul is capable of rising to thee? And can she rest supinely dependent on man for reason, when she ought to mount with him the arduous steeps of knowledge?”
Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

Jacque Fresco
“Whatever happens in the world is real, what one thinks should have happened is projection. We suffer more from our fictitious illusion and expectations of reality.”
Jacque Fresco
