“When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature's evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through nursing their children, even if they weren't sure at first that they could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form.” IfsThinkingYearsFirstsBelieveChildrenBodyFormThreeLosesChanceAbilityMillionsTechnologyFeminismBabyEvolutionFemaleAspectClaimsSuperiorsThirtyBreastsMakersFormulasMilkNursingThirty YearsBreastfeedingFemale Power Author:Christiane Northrup

“The wisdom of God exceeds that of the wisest man, more than his wisdom exceeds that of a child. If a child were to conjecture how an army is to be formed in the day of battle--how a city is to be fortified, or a state governed--what chance has he to guess right? As little chance has the wisest man when he pretends to conjecture how the planets move in their courses, how the sea ebbs and flows, and how our minds act upon our bodies.” IfsMenMindChildrenLittlesStatesBodyMovingCoursesChanceCitiesSeaPlanetsBattleFlowArmyExceedWisestConjectureEbb And FlowWisest Man Book:Philosophical works Source: Philosophical works
“The flesh is sweeter, where the creature has some chance for its life; for that reason, I always use a single ball, even if it be at a bird or a squirrel; besides, it saves lead, for, when a body knows how to shoot, one piece of lead is enough for all, except hard-lived animals.” IfsKnowsHardReasonEnoughUseBodyChanceAnimalKnow HowPiecesCreaturesBirdBallsFleshHuntingOne PieceSquirrels Author:James F.

“I wonder why men can get serious at all. They have this delicate long thing hanging outside their bodies, which goes up and down by its own will. First of all, having it outside your body is terribly dangerous. If I were a man I would have a fantastic castration complex to the point that I wouldn't be able to do a thing. Second, the inconsistency of it, like carrying a chance time alarm or something. If I were a man I would always be laughing at myself.” IfsMenFirstsLongBodyAbleChanceWonderLaughingDangerousSeriousComplexesYour BodyFantasticHanging OutDelicateUp And DownAlarmsInconsistencyWhy MeCastration Book:Grapefruit: A Book of Instructions and Drawings by Yoko Ono Source: Grapefruit: A Book of Instructions and Drawings by Yoko Ono
