Physical Disobedience: An Unruly Guide to Health and Stamina for the Modern Feminist Quotes

“When we trust our bodies to tell us about hunger and fullness, exhaustion and energy, they communicate everything we could ever need to know about how to survive and how to thrive.”

“Trees grow stronger in response to the wind, and their roots grow deeper. This moment in history may feel like it’s planted in the path of a category 5 hurricane. It has ripped us up, but it has also rooted us, weaving us together beneath the surface of the ground and leaving us stronger than ever. We can grieve the loss while, at the same time, falling madly in love with what it has mobilized in us: caring, grace, companionship, openness, and uncensored, outspoken truth-telling. Dying can teach us a great deal about living.”
