Apeksha

“Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic.”
― Frida Kahlo

“Those who are comfortably established in life tend to have no need to ask what it means. They are the insiders, and for them, how things are is how they should be. The status quo is so much a given that it goes not just unquestioned but unseen, and the blind eye is always turned. It is those whose place is uncertain, and who are thus uneasy in their existence, who need to ask why. And who often come up with radically new answers.”
― Lesley Hazleton, The First Muslim: The Story of Muhammad

“As with early Judaism and early Christianity, early Islam would be rooted in opposition to a corrupt status quo.”
― Lesley Hazleton, The First Muslim: The Story of Muhammad

“Perhaps it is expected that I should lament about how I have suffered living with a man like Diego. But I do not think that the banks of a river suffer because they let the river flow, nor does the earth suffer because of the rains, nor does the atom suffer for letting its energy escape. To my way of thinking, everything has its natural compensation.”
― Frida Kahlo
