Maslela’s Quotes

“China is a sleeping giant; let him sleep, for if he wakes, he will shake the World.”
― Napoleon

“So stay true to your own nature. If you like to do things in a slow and steady way, don't let others make you feel as if you have to race. If you enjoy depth, don't force yourself to seek breadth. If you prefer single-tasking to multi-tasking, stick to your guns. Being relatively unmoved by rewards gives you the incalculable power to go your own way.”
― Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

“Most books on witchcraft will tell you that witches work naked. This is because most books on witchcraft were written by men.”
