Jenny Nordberg
“When one gender is so unwanted, so despised, and so suppressed in a place where daughters are expressly unwanted, perhaps both the body and the mind of a growing human can be expected to revolt against becoming a woman. And thus, perhaps, alter someone for good.”
Jenny Nordberg, The Underground Girls of Kabul: In Search of a Hidden Resistance in Afghanistan

Colette
“It is only in pain that a woman is capable of rising above mediocrity. Her resistance to pain is infinite; one can use and abuse it without any fear that she will die, as long as some childish physical cowardice or some religious hope keeps her from the suicide that offers her a way out.”
Colette

Radclyffe Hall
“The doctors cannot make the ignorant think, cannot hope to bring home the sufferings of millions; only one of ourselves can someday do that...It will need great courage but it will be done, because all things must work toward ultimate good; there is no real wastage and no destruction.”
Radclyffe Hall

Radclyffe Hall
“Do you believe in God, Martin?'
And he answered, 'Yes, because of His trees. Don't you?'
'I'm not sure...'
'Oh, my poor, blind Stephen! Look again, go on looking until you do believe.”
Radclyffe Hall

“In our society, we often tend to ignore what our bodies are telling us and instead are encouraged to medicate the symptoms with sleeping pills, stool softeners, a few beers, and a burrito. The problem with this approach is that whatever your body is trying to tell you gets lost beneath your attempts to cover it up.”
Melissa Grabau, The Yoga of Food: Wellness from the Inside Out
