Ken Robinson
“Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler did not solve an old problem, they asked a new question, and in doing so they changed the whole basis on which the old questions had been framed.”
Ken Robinson

Toni Morrison
“What you do to children matters. And they might never forget.”
Toni Morrison, God Help the Child

Gail Honeyman
“A philosophical question: if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? And if a woman who's wholly alone occasionally talks to a pot plant, is she certifiable? I think that it is perfectly normal to talk to oneself occasionally. It's not as though I'm expecting a reply. I'm fully aware that Polly is a houseplant.”
Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“Each woman has potential access to Rio Abajo Rio, this river beneath the river. She arrives there through deep meditation, dance, writing, painting, prayermaking, singing, drumming, active imagination, or any activity which requires an intense altered consciousness. A woman arrives in this world-between-worlds through yearning and by seeking something she can see just out of the corner of her eye. She arrives there by deeply creative acts, through intentional solitude, and by practice of any of the arts.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

Criss Jami
“I never feel unsafe except for when the majority is on my side.”
Criss Jami, Healology
