| a481efe | When we spend our lives waiting until we're perfect or bulletproof before we walk into the arena, we ultimately sacrifice relationships and opportunities that may not be recoverable, we squander our precious time, and we turn our backs on our gifts, those unique contributions that only we can make. Perfect and bulletproof are seductive, but they don't exist in the human experience. | Brené Brown | ||
| deffabb | What we need is equality without conformity. | Kim Stanley Robinson | ||

| 4dff592 | To be ignorant and to be deceived are two different things. To be ignorant is to be a slave of the world. To be deceived is to be the slave of another man. The question will always be: Why, when all men are ignorant, and therefore already slaves, does this latter slavery sting us so? | R. Scott Bakker | ||

| 9b38530 | Folk caught up in a riot aren't our cousins and sisters, our brothers and uncles. They are part of a big animal with many arms and claws, armed with stones and sticks. | Tamora Pierce | ||
| 0a5a47c | I imbue this place with my essence, every stone and every drop. My visit will do wonders for the flowers." Aly propped her chin on her hand. "So does manure," she observed." | funny-humor kyprioth | Tamora Pierce | |
| 8c5e889 | Not everyone can afford to eat well in America, which is a literal shame, but most of us can: Americans spend less than 10 percent of their income on food, less than the citizens of any other nation. | Michael Pollan | ||
| 68b66e4 | Eating's not a bad way to get to know a place. | Michael Pollan | ||
| 04776bd | This for many people is what is most offensive about hunting--to some, disgusting: that it encourages, or allows, us not only to kill but to take a certain pleasure in killing. It's not as though the rest of us don't countenance the killing of tens of millions of animals every year. Yet for some reason we feel more comfortable with the mechanical killing practiced, out of view and without emotion by industrial agriculture. | animal-rights animal-welfare animals food hunting meat veganism vegetarianism | Michael Pollan | |
| f7e7309 | To love people as they are is impossible. And yet one must. And therefore do good to them, clenching your feelings, holding your nose, and shutting your eyes (this last is necessary).

| 4d91af8 | God bids you not to commit lechery, that is, not to have sex with any woman except your wife. You ask of that she should not have sex with anyone except you -- yet you are not willing to observe the same restraint in return. Where you ought to be ahead of your wife in virtue, you collapse under the onset of lechery. ... Complaints are always being made about men's lechery, yet wives do not dare to find fault with their husbands for it.

| eadc358 | Maybe love, at its essence, is being a mirror for another person--for the good parts and the bad. Perhaps love is simply finding that one person who sees you clearly, cares for you deeply, challenges you and supports you, and subsequently helps you see and be your true self. | Penny Reid | ||

| 49aec63 | When two broken people bring their broken pieces together, chances are they will never become a whole anything. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| 6a0ba75 | You of all beings know how fate works. What happened to you as a human happened because everyone from your parents on down tried to circumvent what was supposed to be - which ultimately was the destruction of the Atlantean pantheon. There was no changing that prophecy. But the way you suffered was completely unnecessary. Had your parents embraced their true destiny, you would have been saved years of torment. Fate will not be denied. We can.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||

| d6d55e4 | Good Lord, who spread the Daimon fertilizer around? They're cropping up like a bad horror flick. (Tabitha) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| c8df736 | Fuck you. (Dev) Thank you so much for the offer, but while you do have a certain feminine quality in your demeanor and a remarkable head of hair that any woman would envy, you're far too hairy for my tastes. No offense. (Fury) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||

| a9b28d9 | Past and present religious atrocities have occured not because we are evil, but because it is a fact of nature that the human species is, biologically, only partly rational. Evolution has meant that our prefrontal lobes are too small, our adrenal glands are too big, and our reproductive organs apparently designed by committee; a recipe which, alone or in combination, is very certain to lead to some unhappiness and disorder. | evolution | Christopher Hitchens | |

A gator named Sense Formerly Known as Common." Sneering at him, she tottered her way to her desk so that she could insult someone else and ruin their day.

| 32877c8 | Our Press and our schools cultivate Chauvinism, militarism, dogmatism, conformism and ignorance. The arbitrary power of the Government is unlimited, and unexampled in history; freedom of the Press, of opinion and of movement are as thoroughly exterminated as though the proclamation of the Rights of Man had never been. We have built up the most gigantic police apparatus, with informers made a national institution, and the most refined scient.. | government | Arthur Koestler |
