Quote by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

“Este cea care tună împotriva nedreptăţii. [...] Este cea pentru care ne părăsim casa și este casa la care ne întoarcem. E aici astăzi, șade la masa noastră, stă cu noi la rând, merge înaintea noastră pe stradă. Trăiește în viitor și se întoarce în timp pentru a ne întâlni acum.”

How much each of us needs to remember theologian Paul Tillich’s definition of grace as accepting the fact that we are accepted, despite the fact that we are unacceptable.”

“only a small minority of military personnel have combat-related jobs. In 2015, even after two lengthy wars, the percentage of military personnel in combat specialties was only 14 percent overall—with substantial differences between the services: for instance, 28 percent of enlisted Army personnel serve in jobs that are classified as combat positions compared to just 3 percent of Navy enlisted personnel.
