Quote by Eve Ensler

“Les pères qui ont déchaîné leur furie implacable sur le monde. Un chaîne de généraux, de conquérants, de PDG, d'escrocs, de tyrans, de voleurs, d'exploiteurs en tout genre et d'imbéciles. Ils meurent et meurent encore ici, de toute éternité et pour toujours. Voilà mes pères. Voilà les hommes. Avec l'allégeance pour vocation ultime. L'obéissance supplante la logique, la moralité ou la raison. Ils m'ont appelé ici. M'exhortant à cesser ces enfantillages avec toi pour reprendre de plein droit ma place dans la hiérarchie masculine. Quelle absurdité. Qu'est-ce qu'un homme banni du royaume des hommes. Peut-être ne peux-tu pas comprendre cette loyauté. C'est elle qui nous donne un but, un sens et une place. Quel territoire arpenterons-nous après l'exil ? Adam a désobéi une fois et on sait ce que ça a donné.”

“Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you. For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough, so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him. For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything. Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.”

“We might think that the deeper we dig into our own being, the further we travel from God; that’s one way Christianity has regarded the inner self, as a source of sin and separation from God. Quakers, however—and other holistic mystics through the ages—believe that at the deepest level of our beings lies Kelly’s Last Rock, the preexistent Word of John’s Gospel (John 1:1–5). Mental and emotional commotion obscure this bedrock, but someone practiced in disciplined silence spends more and more time absorbed in this Ground of Our Being.”
