| 2df6fad | Dear God, help him and help the mother . . . help all mothers everywhere. We need so much help, with the little sensitive, loving hearts and minds that look to us for guidance and love and understanding. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| a70f89b | You make me believe in fairies, whether I will or no," he told her, "and that means youth. As long as you believe in fairies you can't grow old." | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 8a7e0c1 | one deceives oneself and unconsciously believes that real true passion is stirring one's soul; one unconsciously believes that there is something living, tangible in one's immaterial dreams! And is it delusion? | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| d419636 | he was by no means expansive, and talked little indeed, but not from shyness or a sullen unsociability; quite the contrary, from something different, from a sort of inner preoccupation entirely personal and unconcerned with other people, but so important to him that he seemed, as it were, to forget other on account of it. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 441508e | Fyodor Pavlovitch was drunk when he heard of his wife's death, and the story is that he ran out into the street and began shouting with joy, raising his hands to Heaven: "Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace," but others say he wept without restraint like a little child, so much so that people were sorry for him, in spite of the repulsion he inspired. It is quite possible that both versions were true, that he rejoiced at his r.. | emotional-pain nostalgia | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| bd46a09 | Kako mozete znati sto ce znaciti taj dodir jedne osobe s drugom u sudbini dodirnute osobe? Jer, tu je cijeli zivot i nebrojeno mnostvo njegovih ogranaka skrivenih od nasih pogleda. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 5cadf8f | It was not only that I could not become spiteful, I did not know how to become anything; neither spiteful nor kind, neither a rascal nor an honest man, neither a hero nor an insect. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 4b0e8f3 | how easily the heart accustoms itself to comforts, and how difficult it is to tear one's self away from luxuries which have become habitual and, little by little, indispensable. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 7ceb6c0 | A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world: everyone you meet is your mirror. --Ken Keyes, Jr. | John Lescroart | ||
| 4a43a83 | But is it possible to believe in the devil, if one hasn't the slightest belief in God?' Stavrogin laughed out loud. 'Oh yes, entirely possible, that's as common as can be,' Tibon raised his eyes and smiled, too. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 27648a8 | But the trouble was that the hysterics could not go on for ever, and (I am writing the loathsome truth) lying face downwards on the sofa with my face thrust into my nasty leather pillow, I began by degrees to be aware of a far-away, involuntary but irresistible feeling that it would be awkward now for me to raise my head and look Liza straight in the face. Why was I ashamed? I don't know, but I was ashamed. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| bbe3569 | A Prayer of Commitment Dear Father, I need You. I cannot love or respect perfectly, but I know You hear me when I ask You for help. First, please forgive me for the times I've been unloving or disrespectful. And help me to forgive my spouse for being unloving or disrespectful toward me. I open my heart to You, Father. I will not be fearful or angry at You or my spouse. I'm seeing myself and my spouse in a whole new light, and I will appreci.. | Emerson Eggerichs | ||

| 80a72e9 | Jimmy held on to the reins for dear life, and thought that a horse was about the most slippery creature to sit on that he had ever met. He slithered first one way and then another, and at last he slid off altogether and landed with a bump on the ground. Sticky Stanley and Lotta held on to one another and laughed till the tears ran down their faces. They thought it was the funniest sight in the world to see poor Jimmy slipping about on the .. | horseback-riding horses humourous laughing reins slippery | Enid Blyton | |

| 9ef01e9 | what good is faith by force? Besides, proofs are no help to faith, especially material proofs. Thomas believed not because he saw the risen Christ but because he wanted to believe even before that.2 Spiritualists, for example ... I like them so much ... imagine, they think they're serving faith because devils show their little horns to them from the other world. 'This,' they say, 'is a material proof, so to speak, that the other world exist.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 637a6a0 | No, I'd better sit on to the end,' I went on thinking; 'you would be pleased, my friends, if I went away. Nothing will induce me to go. I'll go on sitting here and drinking to the end, on purpose, as a sign that I don't think you of the slightest consequence. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 95faaa6 | Do you know, Alexey Fyodorovitch, how people do go out of their mind? | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 9aea5a6 | But gentlemen, what sort of free choice will there be when it comes down to tables and arithmetic, when all that's left is two times two makes four? Two times two makes four even without my will. Is that what you call free choice? | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 5674efc | Scraps and shreds of thoughts were simply swarming in his brain, but he could not catch at one, he could not rest on one, in spite of all his efforts... | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| bbbe4ce | I am often struck by the dangerous narcissism fostered by spiritual rhetoric that pays so much attention to individual self-improvement and so little to the practice of love within the context of community. | Bell Hooks | ||
| 3de190b | What a book the Bible is, what a miracle, what strength is given with it to man. It s like a mould cast of the world and man and human nature, everything is there, and a law for everything for all the ages. And what mysteries are solved and revealed | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 8a1a127 | As long as females take up the banner of feminist politics without addressing and transforming their own sexism, ultimately the movement will be undermined. | bell hooks | ||
| 04db951 | To begin by always thinking of love as an action rather than a feeling is one way in which anyone using the word in this manner automatically assumes accountability and responsibility. -- BELL HOOKS1 | Brené Brown | ||
| 3be08d2 | An overwhelming majority of us come from dysfunctional families in which we were taught we were not okay, where we were shamed, verbally and/or physically abused, and emotionally neglected even as (we) were taught to believe that we were loved. | all-about-love bell-hooks love | bell hooks | |

| 4970020 | Profound changes in the way we think and act must take place if we are to create a loving culture. | Bell Hooks | ||
| b43f4e9 | This fear of maleness that they inspire estranges men from every female in their lives to greater or lesser degrees, and men feel the loss. Ultimately, one of the emotional costs of allegiance to patriarchy is to be seen as unworthy of trust. | feminism feminist feminist-quotes manhood masculinity men patriarchy trust trustworthy | bell hooks | |
| 55a6ec0 | For too long the term domestic violence has been used as a "soft" term which suggests it emerges in an intimate context that is private and somehow less threatening, less brutal, than the violence that takes place outside the home. This is not so, since more women are beaten and murdered in the home than on the outside." | bell hooks | ||
| e49ca0f | Shame about being hurt often has its origin in childhood. And it is then that many of us first learn that it is a virtue to be silent about pain. ... As more people have found the courage to break through shame and speak about woundedness in their lives, we are now subjected to a mean-spirited cultural response, where all talk of woundedness is mocked. The belittling of anyone's attempt to make a context within which they were wounded, were.. | bell hooks | ||
| 55dd8fd | While it is positive for young black males and females to learn discipline and self-responsibility, those attitudes, values, and habits of being can be taught with pedagogical strategies that are liberatory, that do not rely on coercive control and punishment to reinforce positive behavior. | bell hooks | ||
| 729e464 | Overall women in our society are forgetting the value and power of sisterhood. Renewed feminist movement must once again raise the banner high to proclaim anew "Sistehood is powerful." | bell hooks | ||
| 96ece0d | Even though some individual scholars try to tell us there is no direct connection between images of violence and the violence confronting us in our lives, the commonsense truth remains- we are affected by the images we consume and by the states of mind we are in when watching them. If consumers want to be entertained, and the images shown us as entertaining are images of violent dehumanization, it makes sense that these acts become more acc.. | mass-media movies pop-culture television violence violent | bell hooks | |
| feff4cb | Redeemed and restored, love returns us to the promise of everlasting life. When we love we can let our hearts speak. | bell hooks | ||

| d611957 | Watching Paris is Burning, I began to think that the many yuppie-looking, straight -acting, pushy, predominantly white folks in the audience were there because the film in no way interrogates "whiteness." These folks left the film saying it was "amazing," "marvellous," incredibly funny," worthy of statements like, "Didn't you just love it?" And no, I didn't love it. For in many ways the film was a graphic documentary portrait of the way in .. | gender-identity image propaganda race representation sexuality | bell hooks | |
| e0db677 | Home was the place where I was forced to conform to someone else's image of who and what I should be. School was the place where I could forget that self and, through ideas, reinvent myself. School | bell hooks | ||
| b000e0a | By naming sexism as the problem it went directly to the heart of the matter. Practically, it is a definition which implies that all sexist thinking and action is the problem, whether those who perpetuate it are female or male, child or adult. | bell hooks | ||
| d425fcf | Few of us enter romantic relationships able to receive love. We fall into romantic attachments doomed to replay familiar family dramas. Usually we do not know this will happen precisely because we have grown up in a culture that has told us that no matter what we experience in our childhoods, no matter the pain, sorrow, alienation, emptiness, no matter the extent of our dehumanization, romantic love will be ours. We believe we will meet the.. | first-love love love-at-first-sight love-quotes love-transforms one-day-my-prince-will-come open-your-heart someday-my-prince-will-come vulnerability | bell hooks | |
| d9e7085 | We are told again and again by patriarchal mass media, by sexist leaders, that feminism is dead, that it no longer has meaning. In actuality, females and males of all ages, everywhere, continue to grapple with the issue of gender equality, continue to seek roles for themselves that will liberate rather than restrict and confine; and they continue to turn towards feminism for answers. Visionary feminism offers us hope for the future. By emph.. | bell hooks | ||
| 907aa5f | it is the most militant, most radical intervention anyone can make to not only speak of love, but to engage in the practice of love. For love as the foundation of all social movements for self-determination is the only way we create a world that domination and dominator thinking cannot destroy. Anytime we do the work of love we are doing the work of ending domination. | love self-determination social-justice | bell hooks | |
| ee109a4 | Yet the enslavement of Africans--over 20 percent of the population--served as the linchpin of American democracy; that is, the much-heralded stability and continuity of American democracy was predicated upon black oppression and degradation. Without the presence of black people in America, European-Americans would not be "white"--they would be only Irish, Italians, Poles, Welsh, and others engaged in class, ethnic, and gender struggles over.. | american-democracy epilogue political-struggle racism-in-america slavery white-race white-supremacy | Cornel West | |
| be32489 | To be humble is to be so sure of one's self and one's mission that one can forego calling excessive attention to one's self and status. And, even more pointedly, to be humble is to revel in the accomplishments or potentials of others -- especially those with whom one identifies and to whom one is linked organically. | humility | Cornel West |
