Charlotte Bronte
Walt Whitman quote: "That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse."
That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse. Walt Whitman
A star dawns in the night. Life through life, blood through blood to shine its light. Through love he was given the gift of birth, and from breath to death will walk the earth. The other gift comes through blood and bone, and is for him to take and own. Charm of the moon, power of the sun. Never forgetting an it harm done. Nora Roberts
People who spend their time searching for feet of clay will miss not only the heavens wherein God moves in His majesty and power, but God’s majesty as He improves and shapes a soul. Neal A. Maxwell

All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. Swami Vivekananda
Love may, indeed, love the beloved when her beauty is lost: but not because it is lost. Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal. Love is more sensitive than hatred itself to every blemish in the belove? Of all powers he forgives most, but he condones least: he is pleased with little, but demands all. C. S. Lewis
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "Who are you then?" "I am part of that power which eternally..."
Who are you then?" "I am part of that power which eternally wills evil and eternally works good. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
...when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you're looking for, no matter how much of them you have. Mitch Albom
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "For what is man without desires, without free will, and..."
For what is man without desires, without free will, and without the power of choice but a stop in an organ pipe? Fyodor Dostoevsky
The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. If an individual is not successful in emotionally crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact rituals of power that will assault his self-esteem. Bell Hooks
