“There is a perverse comfort zone to living a small life. For women, that zone has to do with the fact that we're less likely to be challenged, we're less likely to be criticized, we're less likely to be called angry or strident, if we simply go along and acquiesce to the prevailing patterns of thought and behavior.” IfsFactsComfortBehaviorAngryPatternsZoneComfort ZonePrevailingSmall Life Author:Marianne Williamson

“I know you'll probably get angry with me for that, shout, stamp your feet: "speak just for yourself and your miseries in the underground, and don't go saying 'we all.'" Excuse me, gentleman, but I am not justifying myself with this allishness. As far as I myself am concerned, I have merely carried to an extreme in my life what you have not dared to carry even halfway, and, what's more, you've taken your cowardice for good sense, and found comfort in thus deceiving yourselves. So that I, perhaps, come out even more "living" than you.” KnowsFoundSpeakTakenFeetComfortConcernedAngryMiseryExcuseExtremesGentlemanCowardiceDeceivingStampsHalfwayGood SenseExcuse Me Author:Fyodor Dostoevsky
