Quote by Barbara Mutch

“Zašto prvi put nisam rekla "ne"? Zašto sam vjerovala da nemam izbora, osim izvršiti dužnost? Iako su dužnost i odanost često na suprotnim stranama, to ne znači da jedno moramo žrtvovati zbog drugoga, a da su moja dužnost i odanost bile usmjerene prema Bogu Ocu, ne bih trebala podnijeti tu žrtvu, ni birati između gazde i gospođe. Umjesto toga mogla bih izabrati Božji put, pa bi mi on naložio da kažem "ne", ali čak i bez toga puta, zašto sam tako dugo i bolno učila da, kad je riječ o meni, imam pravo odbiti! Čak i ako je to odbijanje moglo značiti da ću izgubiti posao i dom... Učim, učim!”

“There are, literally, thousands of people all around the world who need nothing more than to meet someone just like you. To spend your time pretending to be someone else is just as senseless and fear-driven as spending your time speaking to people who don’t understand you. Find your tribe. Let yourself be seen. You are already someone’s hero.”

“Incredible how so many people have no sense of honor. How does this happen? This happens by thriving on how one appears to the world around him rather than cultivating a person inside him that he knows is honorable and that he can be proud of. When all the focus is on what people think about you based upon your facebook profile or based upon the exterior that you put on everyday; you leave no room for looking at yourself and saying, "I want to look into the mirror every day and see someone that I can be proud of." And that's what a life of honor is based upon. It is based upon the knowledge that you know your own actions, your own self, and you can see the things that you do and know the things that you think. You answer to yourself, therefore, your standards need to come up to what you expect of yourself. It doesn't matter at all if anybody is looking. When such a sense of honor is present in a large group of people, that's when we see no crime rate or a very low crime rate, respect for other human life and personas, respect for the surroundings and really a respect for oneself. Because a respect for other people can only first be born from a true respect for oneself.”

“One of the great self-deceptions--and one of the great foolishnesses--is to tell yourself, Only I will know. Only you will know that you are a liar; only you will know you deal unethically with people who trust you; only you will know you have no intention of honoring your promise. Whose knowledge or judgment do you imagine is more important? It is precisely your own ego from which there is no escape.”

“Don't shrink your standards, link yourself with those who think and ink like you.”

“The way I saw it, I was fully capable of being treated with indifference that bordered on disdain while maintaining a strong sense of self-respect. I obeyed his commands, sure that I could fulfill this role while still protecting the sacred place inside of me that I knew deserved more. Different. Better. But that isn't how it works.”
