Quote by Sara Zelda Mazzini

“Questa ragazza è una ragazza copertina. Tutto quello che c’è dentro è già stato visto e rivisto. Formulato in pensieri da altri cervelli, in milioni di altri tempi. Gli stessi scatti ammiccanti e blandamente maliziosi, gli stessi risultati di stupidi test della personalità. Gli stessi consigli su come preservarsi dalle scottature estive, consigli che poi non segui mai. Gli stessi Ti Accompagno A Casa e come andrà finire, neanche questo è una grossa novità. Questa ragazza pensa, non sto baciando un uomo. Sto baciando la sua solitudine. La donna che l’ha umiliato. La stanchezza di restare fino a notte inoltrata in un posto dove non va più nessuno. Sto baciando il peso dei suoi errori, la disperazione di regalare a suo figlio una vita migliore. Della sua. Di quella di tutti quanti noi. Questa ragazza pensa, perdonami se non me la sento di scoparmi i tuoi guai.”

“The town of L— represented the earth, with its sorrows and its graves left behind, yet not out of sight, nor wholly forgotten. The ocean, in everlasting but gentle agitation, and brooded over by a dove-like calm, might not unfitly typify the mind and the mood which then swayed it. For it seemed to me as if then first I stood at a distance, and aloof from the uproar of life; as if the tumult, the fever, and the strife, were suspended; a respite granted from the secret burthens of the heart; a sabbath of repose; a resting from human labours. Here were the hopes which blossom in the paths of life, reconciled with the peace which is in the grave; motions of the intellect as unwearied as the heavens, yet for all anxieties a halcyon calm: a tranquility that seemed no product of inertia, but as if resulting from mighty and equal antagonisms; infinite activities, infinite repose.”

“Mystics seem to have no shame about contradicting themselves left and right. They blithely proclaim that the cure for pain is in the pain itself and that the cry of longing is the sigh of merging. That's because the path of the mystic reconciles contradictory propositions (such as harrowing sorrow and radical amazement) and blesses us with an extended capacity to sit with ambiguity, to treasure vulnerability, to celebrate paradox as the highest truth.”

“But the essence of the process at its best is basically the same: women and men join together as equals, they get deeply honest with each other about their experiences, and through this process they heal past wounds, awaken to new realisations together, reach a place of reconciliation and forgiveness, and are thereby mutually transformed.”
