“But the thing about pain is that, when it's with you all the time, it starts to lose meaning. The difference between a three and a six is inconsequential. Stabbing or throbbing, it doesn't matter. All that matters is you can't think clearly. Everything you know is through the fabric of pain. Music is muffled. Flowers look wilted. Clouds look gray.”
― Allison Sweet Grant, I Am the Cage

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
― Bernard M. Baruch

“We use mindfulness to observe the way we cling to pleasant experiences & push away unpleasant ones.”

“As all advocates of feminist politics know most people do not understand sexism or if they do they think it is not a problem. Masses of people think that feminism is always and only about women seeking to be equal to men. And a huge majority of these folks think feminism is anti-male. Their misunderstanding of feminist politics reflects the reality that most folks learn about feminism from patriarchal mass media.”
― Bell Hooks
