“Shiva’s words are treated with earnest respect in liberal and environmental circles, where she is held in great esteem. If she insists that Monsanto and its GMO seeds have driven hundreds of thousands of Indian farmers to suicide—and she has said this frequently—then there must be something to it.”

—  Vandana Shiva

What was that she cried?
No use in stayin'

She gave me her cherry

“Kiki-The-Demure: Once when I was little She tried to give me castor oil. I scratched and bit her so, she never tried again. Ha! She must have thought she held the devil between her knees. I squirmed, blew fire through my nostrils, multiplied my twenty claws by a hundred, my teeth by one thousand, and finally — disappeared as if by magic.
Toby-Dog: I wouldn't dare do that. You see, I love her. I love her enough to forgive her even the torture of the bath.”

The man nodded.
His heart wobbled and he held tighter to the branches.
It is.”

Where she has gone the recognition of this world counts for little. She has gone where the merciful are blessed, where the pure in heart see God.”
