Pero en la actualidad, los que plantean la mayor amenaza para le ley y el orden globales son precisamente aquellas personas que continúan creyendo en Dios y Sus planes universales.

“A lo largo de los siglos, se pueden leer historias de mujeres que, contra todo pronóstico, llegaron a ser mujeres de verdad, pero que acabaron transgrediendo. siendo infelices, viendo coartada su libertad o simplemente destruidas porque a su alrededor la sociedad seguía equivocada. Si muestras a cualquier joven una de nuestras heroicas pioneras -Sylvia Plath, Dorothy Parker, Frida Kahlo, Cleopatra, Boudicca, Juana de Arco-, le estarás mostrando casi siempre a una mujer que acabó aplastada. Los triunfos ganados con mucho esfuerzo pueden verse invalidados si vives en un ambiente donde tus victorias se consideran una amenaza, un error, algo de mal gusto o -lo más crucial para una adolescente- que sencillamente no está en onda. Pocas chicas elegirán hacer lo que está bien -lo que está bien en el fondo de su ser inteligente y hermoso- a costa de quedarse solas.”

No sería arquitecto... El cálculo de resistencias ofrecía muchos atractivos, pero... a su lado florecían los riesgos: a lo mejor le daba por dedicarse a proyectar edificios que habían de dedicarse a campos de fútbol...”

“A lo largo de nuestra trayectoria vital, y muy especialmente durante nuestra infancia, se establecen nuestras identificaciones y se moldea nuestro deseo.
La identidad de género es el efecto de esta construcción social y se traduce en una sensación íntima de SER hombres o mujeres.
Nos aferramos a estas categorías de género porque nos permiten ser reconocidos socialmente y construir una identidad.
Un ejemplo de este proceso lo encontramos en las presiones sociales que recibimos desde pequeñ@s para adaptarnos al género que se nos atribuye socialmente. Los castigos sociales se activan cuando no cumplimos las expectativas.”

“A lobster, when left high and dry among the rock, does not have the sense enough to work his way back to the sea, but waits for the sea to come to him. If it does not come, he remains where he is and dies, although the slightest effort would enable him to reach the waves, which are perhaps within a yard of him. The world is full of human lobsters; people stranded on the rocks of indecision and procrastination, who, instead of putting forth their own energies, are waiting for some grand billow of good fortune to set them afloat.”

“A locomotive whistle was a matter of some personal importance to a railroad engineer. It was tuned and worked (even "played") according to his own personal choosing. The whistle was part of the make-up of the man; he was known for it as much as he was known for the engine he drove. And aside from its utilitarian functions, it could also be an instrument of no little amusement. Many an engineer could get a simple tune out of his whistle, and for those less musical it could be used to aggravate a cranky preacher in the middle of his Sunday sermon or to signal hello through the night to a wife or lady friend. But there was no horseplay about tying down the cord. A locomotive whistle going without letup meant one thing on the railroad, and to everyone who lived near the railroad. It meant there was something very wrong.
The whistle of John Hess' engine had been going now for maybe five minutes at most. It was not on long, but it was the only warning anyone was to hear, and nearly everyone in East Conemaugh heard it and understood almost instantly what it meant.”

“A logo doesn't need to say what a company does. Restaurant logos don't need to show food, dentist logos don't need to show teeth, furniture store logos don't need to show furniture.
