Alice Albinia
“Then again, it was precisely from a fear of democracy–the voting power of majority Hindus, and the dread that Muslims, as a minority in independent India, would be disenfranchised–that Pakistan had come into being.”
Alice Albinia, Empires of the Indus: The Story of a River

Simone de Beauvoir
“It takes a lot of strength, a lot of pride or a lot of love to believe that what one man does has any importance, or that life can conquer death.”
Simone de Beauvoir, All Men Are Mortal

bell hooks
“The essence of true love is mutual recognition-two individuals seeing each other as they really are. We all know that the usual approach is to meet someone we like and put our best self forward, or even at times a false self, one we believe will be more appealing to the person we want to attract. When our real self appears in its entirety, when the good behavior becomes too much to maintain or the masks are taken away, disappointment comes. All too often individuals feel, after the fact-when feelings are hurt and hearts are broken-that it was a case of mistaken identity, that the loved one is a stranger. They saw what they wanted to see rather than what was really there.”
bell hooks, All About Love: New Visions

Miranda July
“If you were wise enough to know that this life would consist mostly of letting go of things you wanted, then why not get good at the letting go, rather than the trying to have?”
Miranda July, The First Bad Man

Rupi Kaur
“the middle place is strange
the part between them and the next
is an awakening from how you saw to
how you will see
this is where their charm wears off
where they are no longer
the god you made them out to be
when the pedestal you carved out of your
bone and teeth no longer serves them
they are unmasked and made mortal again
- the middle place”
Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers
