Quote by Andrea Dworkin

“The analysis is androcentric in the extreme; but still, the story does suggest that the repulsion is not simply deserved by its victims. The repulsion, Tolstoy insists, requires scrutiny and, ultimately, disavowal; the sex act that causes it needs to be eliminated. The radical social change demanded by Tolstoy in this story-the end of intercourse-is a measured repudiation of gynocide: in order not to kill women, he said, we must stop fucking them.”

“It is this superiority, this contemptuous but absolutely normal and unremarkable arrogance, that he now sees as the essence of sexual depravity, and also as a first step toward killing his wife.

“Let today be the day you are reminded that TIME is the most precious resource we have. Unlike money, possessions, or opportunities, once a moment is spent, it can never be earned back. It’s humbling that we don’t know how much time we have left… There’s no balance sheet, no account to check, no way of predicting when the clock on this human experience will run out. Don’t let the uncertainty scare you… Let it inspire you to live with intention, to invest your moments in people and experiences that enrich your lives, to stop wasting hours on bitterness, regret, or meaningless distractions. Let today be the day you recognize that each sunrise is a deposit into an account we can only spend once… and have the wisdom and courage to spend it on love, on growth, on joy, on family, on health, on presence. Time slips quietly away… but you can squeeze it for its unlimited abundance and find timeless meaning and impact in how you spend it.”
