I am "too fiery," yet I wish to be seen as I am and I would lose all rather than soften away anything. ~Margaret Fuller
#quotes #margaret-fuller #heart #wish

I held hands with her all the time; that doesn't sound like much, I realize, but she was terrific to hold hands with. Most girls if you hold hands with them, their goddam hand dies on you, or else they think they have to keep moving their hand all the time, as if they were afraid they'd bore you or something. Jane was different. We'd get into a goddam movie or something, and right away we'd start holding hands, and we wouldn't quit till the movie was over. And without changing the position or making a big deal out of it. You never even worried, with Jane, whether your hand was sweaty or not. All you knew was, you were happy. You really were. ~J. D. Salinger

Our thoughts really do create our lives. They've done a lot of research showing if you're an optimistic, positive person you will be a healthier person than if you're a sad, depressed, negative person. ~Alana Stewart

Women in general want to be loved for what they are and men for what they accomplish. ~Theodor Reik

All that is necessary, as it seems to me, to convince any reasonable person that the Bible is simply and purely of human invention; of barbarian invention; is to read it. Read it as you would any other book; think of it as you would of any other; get the bandage of reverence from your eyes; drive from your heart the phantom of fear; push from the throne of your brain the cowled form of superstition; then read the Holy Bible, and you will be amazed that you ever, for one moment, supposed a being of infinite wisdom, goodness and purity, to be the author of such ignorance and of such atrocity. ~Robert Green Ingersoll

When there is no thought, the kundalini rises. When you create a vacuum, something will be drawn into it. The less thought you have, the more kundalini will flow through the chakras, the shushumna. ~Frederick Lenz

It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done. ~John Greenleaf Whittier
#quotes #john-greenleaf-whittier #people

Places are fragmentary and inward-turning histories, pasts that others are not allowed to read, accumulated times that can be unfolded but like stories held in reserve, remaining in an enigmatic state, symbolizations encysted in the pain or pleasure of he body. "I feel good here": the well-being under-expressed in the language it appears in like a fleeting glimmer is a spatial practice. ~Michel de Certeau
#quotes #michel-de-certeau #past #history #stories

I had a handful of records, but when I was 11 years old, I liked Puccini as much as Little Richard. They both made sense to me. ~Patti Smith

Are we not like two volumes of one book? ~Marceline Desbordes Valmore
