Brīžiem es kaut ko saprotu, un brīžiem es lasu parastus vārdus uz papīra

“Joan marveled at how easy Barbara’s inner life must be. How entirely undemanding of yourself it was to believe that everything happened to you. And everything was about you. And that your feelings were the only ones that mattered. Worse yet, to afford yourself the role of the victim.”

“Because I do not believe there is any original sin in any of us and I cannot sit there and listen to someone say there is. I don’t want to believe in any being who would judge and punish like that. And I’ll pay the price if I’m wrong and God does exist. Because I will not submit to a God like that willingly.”

“Joan closed her eyes. She could not allow herself to question any of this, could not let the part of her brain in charge of judgement light up. There could be no embarrassment or shyness or hesitation. Not if she was going to get what she wanted. Not now.”

“You would think the benefit of being stuck on a ranch in the middle of nowhere it would be a little bit of peace and quiet, but no. A child is a child is a child. In every world, in every possible scenario, they are programmed to drain you.”

“Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith, sweetheart.”

Es reāli nezinu vai turpināt, vai nē…

“Change just comes. It comes of necessity. You have to go with it and make something of what it makes of you.”

Pirmo reizi lasu tik neparastu grāmatu

“The desire to have it easier is not the trap; that is something the ego naturally desires. Ah, but the price. The price is the trap.”

“No matter where they live or in what time, there are cages waiting always; too small lives into which women can be lured or pushed.”

“The idea in our culture of body solely as sculpture is wrong. Body is not marble. That is not its purpose. Its purpose is to protect, contain, support, and fire the spirit and soul within it, to be a repository for memory, to fill us with feeling - that is the supreme psychic nourishment. It is to lift us and propel us, to fill us with feeling to prove that we exist, that we are here.”

“If the woman were able to sit herself down and peer into her own heart, she would see there a need to have her talents, her gifts, and her limitations respectfully acknowledged and accepted. So, to begin healing, stop kidding yourself that a little feel good of the wrong sort will take care of a broken leg. Tell the truth about your wound, and then you will get a truthful picture of the remedy to apply to it.”

“My friends call me the Queen of curiosity with all my questions, but even those questions are the result of having picked through a much larger pile. This is why I like people who draw answers from me without even asking a question, or who seem to answer my questions before I even ask them. This connection gives me the warmest of feelings.”
