“It used to happen in villages and towns in China that they would have - I guess you'd call them beauty contests - where all of the women of a particular village or town would be seated behind these screens or curtains with only their feet showing.” HappensWould BeUsedBehindsFeetParticularTownsChinaScreensVillageContestsCurtainsBeauty Contest Author:Lisa See
“Understand me: I wish to be a man from somewhere, a man among men. You see, a slave, when he passes by, weary and surly, carrying a heavy load, limping along and looking down at his feet, only at his feet to avoid falling down; he is in his town, like a leaf in greenery, like a tree in a forest, argos surrounds him, heavy and warm, full of herself; I want to be that slave, Electra, I want to pull the city around me and to roll myself up in it like a blanket. I will not leave.” MenWantFallWishCitiesTreeFeetTownsSlaveHeavyWarmForestsSurroundLoadWearyLeafsBe A ManFalling DownBlanketUnderstand MeLooking DownSurlyLimpingElectraGreeneryHeavy Loads Author:Jean-Paul Sartre

“There was a period of time between 2005 and 2008 that was pretty challenging. I had taken a leap of faith and moved to Los Angeles from New York, which had been incredible to me professionally. I couldn't get arrested in this town. There was a lot of doubt and fear that crept in, and boy, did insecurity stick her foot up in it. There were many obstacles that were overcome during that very dark period - creative, financial, emotional, and spiritual - and I'm here, standing, stronger than ever.” SpiritualChallengesDarkBoysCreativeTakenDoubtFeetNew YorkEmotionalPeriodsStandingOvercomingStrongerTownsMovedSticksIncrediblesFinancialObstaclesInsecurityLos AngelesLeapArrestedLeap Of FaithDoubt And FearStronger Than Ever Author:Erica Tazel
“[Pope Francis] has done this not through angry speeches, but through the powerful symbols and examples of embracing a badly deformed man, welcoming refugees to the Vatican, strolling through a shanty town in Rome, visiting a home for the elderly, washing the feet of prisoners on Holy Thursday, and going to a hospital for newborns.” MenDoneHomePowerfulFeetExampleHolySpeechTownsAngryWelcomeSymbolsHospitalsPrisonerRomePopeRefugeeElderlyWashingVisitingStrollingThursday Author:John I.
