Quote by Justina Ireland

“The Force is not so simple, and neither are the emotions of living creatures. Most Jedi have felt the temptation of the dark side. It is only natural. But we resist it. It is a deliberate path to the dark, not a series of bad days. Being a Jedi is about choosing the light over and over again.”

“To be loved by a pure young girl, to be the first to reveal to her the strange mystery of love, is indeed a great happiness, but it is the simplest thing in the world. To take captive a heart which has had no experience of attack, is to enter an unfortified and ungarrisoned city. Education, family feeling, the sense of duty, the family, are strong sentinels, but there are no sentinels so vigilant as not to be deceived by a girl of sixteen to whom nature, by the voice of the man she loves, gives the first counsels of love, all the more ardent because they seem so pure. The more a girl believes in goodness, the more easily will she give way, if not to her lover, at least to love, for being without mistrust she is without force, and to win her love is a triumph that can be gained by any young man of five-and-twenty. See how young girls are watched and guarded! The walls of convents are not high enough, mothers have no locks strong enough, religion has no duties constant enough, to shut these charming birds in their cages, cages not even strewn with flowers. Then how surely must they desire the world which is hidden from them, how surely must they find it tempting, how surely must they listen to the first voice which comes to tell its secrets through their bars, and bless the hand which is the first to raise a corner of the mysterious veil!”

“You were never meant to stand tall by yourself forever. The tower you built kept you safe when you needed it. But now you're allowed to step outside. Not because you're weak. But because you're ready to be met. And that's a strength worth keeping.”

“Who is Miracle Human (The Sonnet) Who is the miracle human, Can they turn water into wine? Do they never run out of bread, Can they turn cotton into golden twine? None of this is actually miracle, All these are stories of fantasy. When ignorance was default thinking, Magic defined a person's capacity. Real miracle is an act of kindness, Nothing is higher and more divine. When you share happily your last bread, That is holiness most genuine. Rise and conquer all old prejudice and fantasy. Stand firm and foster the miracle humanity.”
