a few of my fave quotes from the brilliant Dorothy Allison
"Women lose their lives not knowing they can do something different...I claimed myself and remade my life. Only when I knew I belonged to myself completely did I become capable of giving myself to another, of finding joy in desire, pleasure in our love, power in this body no one else owns."
"I need you to do more than survive. As writers, as revolutionaries, tell the truth, your truth in your own way. Do not buy into their system of censorship, imagining that if you drop this character or hide that emotion, you can slide through their blockades. Do not eat your heart out in the hope of pleasing them." "I told her, Don't touch me that way. Don't come at me with that sour-cream smile. Come at me as if I were worth your life.... Take me like a turtle whose shell must be cracked, whose heart is ice, who needs your heat. Love me like a warrior, sweat up to your earlobes and all your hope between your teeth. Love me so I know I am at least as important as anything you have ever wanted." "The horror of class stratification, racism, and prejudice is that some people begin to believe that the security of their families and communities depends on the oppression of others, that for some to have good lives there must be others whose lives are truncated and brutal." "Two or three things I know for sure, and one of them is that if we are not beautiful to each other, we cannot know beauty in any form." |
Your Catfish Friend by Richard Brautigan If I were to live my life in catfish forms in scaffolds of skin and whiskers at the bottom of a pond and you were to come by one evening when the moon was shining down into my dark home and stand there at the edge of my affection and think, "It's beautiful here by this pond. I wish somebody loved me," I'd love you and be your catfish friend and drive such lonely thoughts from your mind and suddenly you would be at peace, and ask yourself, "I wonder if there are any catfish in this pond? It seems like a perfect place for them." |
"Each of us has a special word that no one will ever understand. Even if we say the word, simply the word, people will be clueless. it will take a thousand more words to explain and even then it will only be a ghost of a meaning. So keep your word close and smile because it is your own."

As she has planted, so does she harvest; such is the field of karma.
~Sri Guru Granth Sahib |
Whatever we do lays a seed in our deepest consciousness, and one day that seed will grow.
~Sakyong Mipham |
Without the karma of good deeds, they are only destroying themselves.
~Sri Guru Granth Sahib |
“Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.” ~ Tom Robbins

What a superbly accurate quote from one of our very own. To add to wolfbitten's idea - our words, although they are but symbols for our thoughts and feelings, shape who we are, and who we are not. They stand the test of time. They can pull us deeply toward love and to extreme levels of hatred. Even as I write these words, I wonder if they - like chocolate - will taste the same way to you, as they do to me.

"As we move through life, the force of fate creates events that we only appreciate when we reflect on our existence." - Ronald Harmon |
"I have found power in the mysteries of thought, exaltation in the changing of the Muses ... I have been versed in the reasonings of men but Fate is stronger than anything I have known." – Euripides |

the first cup kisses away my thirst
and my loneliness is quelled by the second the third cup gives insight worthy of ancient scrolls and the fourth exiles my troubles my body becomes lighter with the fifth and the sixth sends word from the Immortals but the seventh, o the seventh cup, if i drink you, a wind will hurry my wings toward the Sacred Island (Lu Tong, 798-835 CE) |
