“Before I am your daughter,your sister,your aunt, niece, or cousin,I am my own person,and I will not set fire to myselfto keep you warm.” Elizabeth Gracely (1996) american poet Source: The Only Beast Here is Heartbreak
“The great ones do not set up offices, charge fees, give lectures, or write books. Wisdom is silent, and the most effective propaganda for truth is the force of personal example. The great ones attract disciples, lesser figures whose mission is to preach and to teach. These are gospelers who, unequal to the highest task, spend their lives in converting others. The great ones are indifferent, in the profoundest sense. They don't ask you to believe: they electrify you by their behavior. They are the awakeners.” Henry Miller book Sexus Source: Sexus
