“I've seen women insist on cleaning everything in the house before they could sit down to write... and you know it's a funny thing about housecleaning... it never comes to an end. Perfect way to stop a woman. A woman must be careful to not allow over-responsibility (or over-respectabilty) to steal her necessary creative rests, riffs, and raptures. She simply must put her foot down and say no to half of what she believes she "should" be doing. Art is not meant to be created in stolen moments only.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

“When wounds are healed by love,

“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.”

“Do your bit to save humanity from lapsing back into barbarity by reading all the novels you can.”
