“For most of history, anonymous was a woman.”

“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”
― David W. Orr, Ecological Literacy: Educating Our Children for a Sustainable World

“Daytime sleep is like the sin of the flesh; the more you have the more you want, and yet you feel unhappy, sated and unsated at the same time.”

“Books are not made to be believed, but to be subjected to inquiry. When we consider a book, we mustn't ask ourselves what it says but what it means...”

“Vẻ đẹp của thân thể chỉ đến lớp da là hết. Nếu đàn ông nhìn thấy được dưới lớp da ấy là gì, như với con linh miêu xứ Boeotia, họ sẽ rùng mình khi thấy đàn bà. Mọi vẻ yêu kiều ấy chỉ gồm toàn đờm dãi, máu me, thể dịch và mật. Nghĩ đến những gì ẩn trong lỗ mũi, cổ họng và bụng, con sẽ thấy toàn thứ nhơ bẩn. Nếu con tởm lợm khi chạm ngón tay vào đờm dãi hay phân, sao lại có thể khao khát ôm cái bao đựng thứ phân đó?”
― Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose
