Status Updates From A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN

“(…) quando, por qualquer razão, a beleza revelada do mundo, que no entanto depressa perecerá, tem duas lâminas, uma de riso, uma de angustia, que cortam o coração em dois.”

Bin ehrlich: als es um Essen ging, habe ich mich kurz gefragt, warum ich mir das angetan habe, aber jetzt werden die Gedanken spannend :) zudem beeindruckt mich die Sprache. Habe noch nie zuvor etwas von ihr gelesen:)

“To praise one's own sex is always suspect, often silly; moreover, in this case, how could one justify it?

“To praise one’s sex is always suspect, often silly; moreover, in this case, how could one justify it. One could not go to the map and say Columbus discovered America and Columbus was a woman; or take an apple and remark Newton discovered the laws of gravitation and Newton was a woman; or look into the sky and say aeroplanes are flying over head and earoplanes were invented by women.” And so much more is said!!
