You've go to jump off the cliff

"If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd by cynical: 'It's gonna go wrong.' Or 'She's going to hurt me.' Or, 'I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore...' Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down."

-Ray Bradbury

Grief is like

"Grief is like learning another language--an excavation of ancient inner ruins. It is how we feel our back to ourselves. It is a singular gift and, surely, the future's promise."

Meg Fee

Another Feminism

"I realized beauty becomes a form of keeping our woulds alive and that if I had mistaken feminism with taking away our beauty then that is my loss. That's part of my feminism now. To ingrain my womanhood, my sexuality, my beauty, my interest in fashion. Whatever I want. That's how I shifted my interpretation of what feminism should be like. Not to be like any man, but to be myself. That's what feminism is."

-Zainab Salbi

Emotions Never Die

"Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways."

-Sigmud Freud
