Quote by Bertrand Russell

“Святий Кирило, поборник єдності, був людиною фанатично ревною. Він користався своїм становищем патріарха, аби розпалювати погроми в дуже великій єврейській колонії у Александрії. Найбільш уславився він самосудом над Гіпатією, видатною жінкою, що в ту добу святенництва держалась неоплатонічної філософії й присвятила свої таланти математиці. її «стягли з колісниці, здерли з неї весь одяг, затягли до церкви й нелюдськи замордували читець Петро та юрба знавіснілих безжальних фанатиків; м'ясо зішкрібали їй з кісток гострими скойками, а потім кинули тіло, яке ще корчилось, у вогонь. Справедливий хід слідства й покари був зупинений відповідними хабарами». Після цього філософи більш не баламутили Александрії.”

“Start a daily routine of looking at yourself in the mirror through a lens of unconditional love, appreciation, admiration and respect....Connect with the soul behind the image of you in the mirror. Look upon yourself with complete adoration, acceptance and non- judgement.”

“Contrary to the common misconception that loving yourself equates to being self-absorbed and lacking empathy or consideration for others, the true meaning of self-love is about caring, respecting and knowing yourself, taking responsibility for your life, and ultimately, your happiness.”

“Unfortunately, life is unfair and not all babies are brought into the world with the same amount of anticipation and affection, as others. No matter what anyone says; we are really not all given an equal start at life. And so what must children be made up of, to come into a world like this one? Children must be made up of silk. They must be brought up with a serenity in their skin but a bulletproof strength in their souls. This is the new breed of children. Ones that are soft to the touch but are truly unbreakable. And unbreakable in a beautiful way; not in a lost way.”
