Aidas

“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Do one thing every day that scares you.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt

“A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction.”
― Oscar Wilde
