“I am talking here about the need for every woman to live a considered life. The necessity for that consideration grows and deepens as one faces directly one's own mortality and death. Self scrutiny and an evaluation of our own lives, while painful, can be rewarding and strengthening journeys toward a deeper self. For as we open ourselves more and more to the genuine conditions of our lives, women become less and less willing to tolerate those conditions unaltered, or to passively accept external and destructive controls over our lives and our identities.”

“It’s not a question of deeper. It’s a question of opening wide, completely open. It’s not going in, in, but it’s expanding out, because you don’t have to try to make sure there is a little atom bomb inside you. But you can trust there is energy everywhere, and you have to open to it. Therefore it comes back to you at the same time.”
