Quote by butterflies rising

“they tried to teach me to be afraid of my dichotomies… to believe that dynamic girls are “dangerous things.” but i've been learning that some days i will tend to flowers, and some days i will hold fire, and “good girls” are also passionate girls, and “good women” are also free women… and that will only be a dangerous thing to the ones who want us to live afraid.”

“Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8 color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64 color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64 color box, though I've got a few missing. It's okay though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8 color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation. So when I meet someone who's an 8 color type...I'm like, hey girl, Magenta! and she's like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, no I want Magenta!”
