“My job is to be an artist and thus I use different media to deal with the status of the body in our society.” Quote by Orlan

“I don't know who are the men and who are the women. In French I used to say "je suis un femme et une homme." That is to say a feminine male and a masculine female. A she man and a he woman. What I am interested in is developing a singularity, which would be my own.” KnowsMenWould BeUsedMy OwnHe ManFemaleMalesDevelopingFeminineMasculineSingularityFemme Author:Orlan
“Some men develop their own singularity. Football makes men conform to stereotypes: the warrior or the hunter. Football produces a certain kind of masculinity - the drunk kind, the king who will yell the worst nationalist's ideas. In front of those, it is very difficult to be a dignified woman.” MenKindIdeasCertainDifficultWorstFrontsProduceFootballKingsDrunkWarriorStereotypeConformHuntersMasculinitySingularity Author:Orlan

“When two people become entangled, one person will conform to the energy of the other person. When one of them is a healer whose cells are vibrating at a higher level, the client's cells become entangled, and their energy is lifted. That's why that old saying, "physician heal thyself," is so important, even though most don't understand it: If the physician's energy is going to influence or, in scientific terms, "entrain" the patient's, the doctor's must be higher.” PeopleIfsPersonsTwoImportantEnergyTermLevelsInfluenceHigherDoctorsPatientHealCellsClientsPhysiciansConformThyselfHealerHigher LevelOld Saying Author:Bruce H.

“Each of our cells is a living entity, and the main thing that influences them is our blood. If I open my eyes in the morning and my beautiful partner is in front of me, my perception causes a release of oxytocin, dopamine, growth hormones - all of which encourage the growth and health of my cells. But if I see a saber tooth tiger, I'm going to release stress hormones which change the cells to a protection mode. People need to realize that their thoughts are more primary than their genes, because the environment, which is influenced by our thoughts, controls the genes.” PeopleIfsNeedsEyeBeautifulCausesGrowthRealizingMorningEnvironmentBloodInfluenceFrontsPerceptionStressProtectionPartnersTeethReleaseCellsPrimariesGenesEntityOur ThoughtsTigersHormonesDopamineOxytocinGrowth HormonesStress Release Author:Bruce H.

“When you see people that lived their purpose and sacrificed, who are everyday people - teachers, sanitation workers, and just people from all walks of life - that said, "I'm standing up for what I believe in.
