Ovid
“Be bold, take courage... and be strong of soul.”
Ovid

Tadeusz Borowski
“I think that for those who have suffered unjustly, justice alone is not enough. They want the guilty to suffer unjustly too. Only this will they understand as justice.”
Tadeusz Borowski, This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen

Tara June Winch
“See, pain travels through our family tree like a songline.”
Tara June Winch, The Yield

“People ask me, “Have you tried yoga? Kombucha? This special water?” And I don’t have the energy to explain that yes, I’ve tried them. I’ve tried crystals and healing drum circles and prayer and everything. What I want to try is acceptance. I want to see what happens if I can simply accept myself for who I am: battered, broken, hoping for relief, still enduring somehow. I will still take a cure if it’s presented to me, but I am so tired of trying to bargain with the universe for some kind of cure. The price is simply too high to live chasing cures, because in doing so, I’m missing living my life. I know only that in chasing to achieve the person I once was, I will miss the person I have become.”
Alice Wong, Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-first Century

Jules Verne
“I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new.”
Jules Verne, Around the World in 80 Days
