Jacqueline Harpman
“Being beautiful, was that for men?'
'Yes. Some women say that it is for ourselves. What on earth can we do with it? I could have loved myself whether I was hunchbacked or lame, but to be loved by others, you had to be beautiful.”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

Yoshitoki Oima
“I began choosing isolation of my own accord. Maybe so I could convince myself I wasn’t really alone.”
Yoshitoki Oima, A Silent Voice, Vol. 1

Jacqueline Harpman
“Sometimes, I used to sit under the sky, on a clear night, and gaze at the stars, saying, in my croaky voice: “Lord, if you’re up there somewhere, and you aren’t too busy, come and say a few words to me, because I’m very lonely and it would make me so happy.” Nothing happened. So I reckon that humanity— which I wonder whether I belong to —really had a very vivid imagination.”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

Naomi Shulman
“Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters.”
Naomi Shulman

Pope John Paul II
“It is possible to offer fervent prayer even while walking in public or strolling alone, or seated in your shop,…while buying or selling,…or even while cooking.”
Pope John Paul II, Catechism of the Catholic Church
