No le muevan nada, así me lo tatuo
“But capitalism, by turning sex into a commodity,
makes parts of our humanity alien to us and messes with our potential to have a fulfilling sexuality. It becomes something to be achieved, to succeed at, to work at.
Commercial sex, whether it is porn or lap dancing, is like fast food. It is a horrible, soulless version of something good which capitalism sells back”

“It suits the system for women to still believe they're best at child rearing and all the paraphernalia of house-work. Women’s l oppression is about feeling that things
are our fault, our responsibility. It is experienced as an individual; the contradiction is that where we most suffer oppression, in our homes and private lives, is where we are least able to challenge it.”

Then I realize what it is…there’s a man…😒
“Women became subservient at every level and this became reflected in ideology. For instance, the word family is rooted in the Latin word for domestic slave; “familia”was the total number of slaves belonging to one man.”

“But to acknowledge that oppression can affect women in all parts of society does not mean that the experience of oppression is identical for all women.”

“I remember her saying: “The poets and writers are trying to understand the reality of woman, but up to this day they have not understood the hidden secrets of her heart, because they look upon her from behind the sexual veil and see nothing but externals; they look upon her through the magnifying glass of hatefulness and find nothing except weakness and submission.”

“Thou hast created woman with love, and why, with love, dost Thou ruin her?”

“I want you to love me as a poet loves his sorrowful thoughts” ya sueltame por favor

“Shall we consider love a strange visitor who came in the evening and left us in the morning? Or shall we suppose this affection a dream that came in our sleep and departed when we awoke?”
This is my cue to go to sleep 😞😞

“Her hand was still on my head as she spoke, and I would not have preferred a royal crown or a wreath of glory to that beautiful smooth hand whose fingers were twined in my hair.” NUNCA ME HAN AMADOOOO😫😫😫

“It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created in years or even generations.” Yo porque no sé tomarme nada a la ligera 💆🏽‍♀️

“At that moment Selma became dearer than a friend and closer than a sister and more beloved than a sweetheart. She became a supreme thought, a beautiful, an overpowering emotion living in my spirit.” 😭😭😭😭😭😭💕

this is the fastest a book has made me SOB

OMG WHAT IS THIS FOREWORD?!!😭💕💕💕💕

“He preferred small bodies, concluded, without intentions. Or large, like his fiancées, stationary, silent.” ouch

"Closed off inside herself, not wanting to look, ah, not wanting to look"

“All yearning is pursuit of pleasure. All remorse, pity , benevolence, is fear of it”

SHE EVEN STOLE HER DRINK ORDER?? Oh man…

God, I've had an ongoing headache this whole time

"y verificar con ejemplos vivos podían ser esas 'verdades que dominan la muerte, que impiden que se le tema, y hacen, incluso, que la amemos', como dice Renan? Es el poder del genio: hacernos amar una belleza que sentimos más real que nosotros mismos en las cosas que, a los ojos de los otros, son tan particulares y tan perecedoras como nosotros mismos."

"la Belleza no puede ser amada de una manera fecunda si se le ama solamente por los placeres que otorga"

"Si el talento es en efecto más que la originalidad del temperamento, quiero decir, el poder de reducir un temperamento original a leyes generales del arte, al genio permanente de la lengua. Ese poder, ciertamente, les hace falta a muchos, pero otros, dotados suficientemente para adquirirlo, parecen no aspirar a él sistemáticamente."

oh i just know she would use ai
