― Madeline Miller, Circe

“l’amour est l’enfant de la liberté” as an old French song says; love is the child of freedom,”
― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving

“The aim of life is self-development. To realise one's nature perfectly-that is what each of us is here for. People are afraid of themselves, nowadays. They have forgotten the highest of all duties, the duty that one owes to one's self. Of course they are charitable. They feed the hungry, and clothe the beggar. But their own souls starve, and are naked.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Humbling women seems to me a chief pastime of poets. As if there can be no story unless we crawl and weep.”
― Madeline Miller, Circe
