Quote by Anna Burns

“This called for bare hands, stilettos, booted feet, flesh-on-flesh, bone-on-bone, hearing the cracks, causing the cracks, venting all that pent-up anger.”

“The example of Chavez offers a clear warning to all Christians who aspire to a life of social justice and activism:  success in Christian social justice endeavors is not the product of human cleverness or carefully conceived strategies and tactics -- it is first and foremost the fruit of God experienced in the lives of all those who cling to Christ.”

“Non vorrei essere nella tua pelle se uno di questi giorni ti colgono in flagrante, Nella mia pelle non ci potresti essere, tu sei solo un soffitto di stucco, Si, ma anche quello che vedi di me è una pelle, e d'altro canto la pelle è tutto quanto vogliamo che gli altri vedano di noi, sotto la pelle neanche noi stessi riusciamo a sapere chi siamo.”

“Viviamo in un’epoca in cui si è titolati a vivere solo se perfetti. Ogni insufficienza, ogni debolezza, ogni fragilità sembra bandita. Ma c’è un altro modo per mettersi in salvo, ed è costruire, [...] un’altra terra, fecondissima, la terra di coloro che sanno essere fragili.”

“The worst mistake you can make is to force yourself to shop. The most important part of shopping is your frame of mind. How can you make a proper choice if you feel like the mistreated heroine of a soap opera? A frivolous hat or other bit of forbidden fruit are ideal for beating the blues, but stay out of the dress and coat departments until you feel enthusiastic. If your body isn't attuned to fashion, you won't look right in anything. And if you're depressed because you've gained a few pounds, don't buy something too small to grow down to. Lose the few pounds first then go shopping. Remember, diets always start tomorrow.”
