A cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession
about female beauty but an obsession about female obedience.

MIND: Simplicity
Everytime I see her, or hear her voice, or hear her thunder feet approaching I am so truly happy and I know how lucky we are to be happy that way, and never to be bored alone together.
// Ernest Hemingway
MIND: Redamancy
A mature person has the integrity to stand alone. And when a mature person gives love, he or she gives without any strings attached to it. When two mature persons are in love, one of the great paradoxes of life happens, one of the most beautiful phenomena: they are together and yet tremendously alone. They are together so much that they are almost one. Two mature persons in love help each other to become more free. There is no politics involved, no diplomacy, no effort to dominate. Only freedom and love.
// Osho
MIND: Consciousness
If her past were your past, her pain your pain, her level of consciousness your level of consciousness, you would think and act exactly as she does. With this realization comes forgiveness, compassion and peace.
// Eckhart Tolle
MIND: Shuttered
Your days are numbered.
Use them to throw open the windows of your soul to the sun.
If you do not, the sun will soon set, and you with it.
The Emperor’s Handbook // Marcus Aurelius
MIND: Equanimity
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
// Carl Jung
MIND: Unearthed
I took off petal after petal, as if you were a rose, in order to see your soul, and I didn’t see it.
// Juan Ramón Jiménez
MIND: Susceptible
When we are tired, we are attacked
by ideas we conquered long ago.
// Friedrich Nietzsche
MIND: Bargaining
Truly amazing, what people can get used to, as long as there are a few compensations.
The Handmaid’s Tale // Margaret Atwood
MIND: Rampant
But the human tongue is a beast that few can master.
It strains constantly to break out of its cage, and if it is not tamed,
it will run wild and cause you grief.
The 48 Laws of Power // Robert Greene
