Ichiro Kishimi
“The reason that so many people don’t really feel happy while they’re building up their success in the eyes of society is that they are living in competition.”
Ichiro Kishimi, The Courage to Be Disliked: How to Free Yourself, Change Your Life and Achieve Real Happiness

Caroline Kaufman
“You can't root yourself
In the ground, hoping the world
Will grow around you.

You were made to do
More than hide in the shadows
Of another's leaves”
Caroline Kaufman, Light Filters in: Poems

Munshi Premchand
“स्त्री पृथ्वी की भाँति धैर्यवान् है, शांति-संपन्न है, सहिष्णु है। पुरुष में नारी के गुण आ जाते हैं, तो वह महात्मा बन जाता है। नारी में पुरुष के गुण आ जाते हैं तो वह कुलटा हो जाती है।”
Munshi Premchand, गोदान [Godan]

Caroline Kaufman
“I am done being delicate.
As a girl, I was taught to be sweet,
to be dainty,
to fold into myself until I was nothing more than crumpled paper.
This is my unfolding.
I will use gunpowder to set my makeup and gasoline as my perfume.
Next time you try to burn me at the stake, I will burn back.
I will start a fire you cannot control.”
Caroline Kaufman, Light Filters in: Poems

Charlotte Brontë
“I do not think, sir, you have any right to command me, merely because you are older than I, or because you have seen more of the world than I have; your claim to superiority depends on the use you have made of your time and experience.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
