Quote by Joan D. Vinge

“Marx thought he also understood how to end an eternity of human suffering and injustice: Share whatever you could, keep only what you need. He never understood why the rest of humanity couldn't see the answer, when it was so obvious to him. The truth was that they couldn't even see the problem.”

They are markers of your dark times. But they are also love notes to your suffering– they are transformative. There is a lot to be said for pinning things to the earth so they don't follow us around. What is really means is laying your rage to rest so that you can create the wild woman.”

“A fundamental principle in spirituality emphasizes that we are not our thoughts. This concept is essential to initiate inner change.
