Hazrat Inayat Khan
“Moth: I gave you my life.

Flame: I allowed you to kiss me.”
Hazrat Inayat Khan

Sara Baume
“See how community is only a good thing when you're a part of it.”
Sara Baume

Astrid Lindgren
“A childhood without books – that would be no childhood. That would be like being shut out from the enchanted place where you can go and find the rarest kind of joy.”
Astrid Lindgren

Lord Byron
“Where there is mystery, it is generally supposed there must be evil.”
George Gordon Byron

Rachel Lloyd
“Children who are victimized through sexual abuse often begin to develop deeply held tenets that shape their sense of self: 'My worth is my sexuality. I'm dirty and shameful. I have no right to my own physical boundaries.' That shapes their ideas about the world around them: 'No one will believe me. Telling the truth results in bad consequences. People can't be trusted.' It doesn't take long for children to being to act in accordance with these belief systems.
For girls who have experienced incest, sexual abuse, or rape, the boundaries between love, sex, and pain become blurred. Secrets are normal, and shame is a constant.”
Rachel Lloyd, Girls Like Us
