“There was a product on late night TV that you could attach to your garden hose - "You can water your hard-to-reach plants with this." Who would make their plants hard to reach? That seems so very mean. I know you need water, but I'm going to make you hard to reach.

“Yoga is a product of Eastern thought. A further complication is that the early Yoga teachers were both Indian and Hindu. So from the late 1800's and early 1900's the Yoga teachers who came across were as interested in Hinduism as in Yoga. Often what we were being taught was a mixture of two different systems.” TwoDifferentTeacherTaughtProductsLateYogaIndianHinduismEasternMixturesComplicationYoga Teachers Author:Paul Harvey

“When the feminist movement was at its zenith in the late 60's and early 70's, there was a lot of moving away from the idea of the person. It was: let's talk about the ideas behind the work, and the people matter less. It was kind of a gimmicky thing, but lots of feminist women were doing it. Many of us took the names of our female ancestors - bell hooks is my maternal great grandmother - to honor them and debunk the notion that we were these unique, exceptional women. We wanted to say, actually, we were the products of the women who'd gone before us.” PeopleKindPersonsIdeasMatterWantedMovingNamesBehindsGoneMovementProductsHonorLateUniqueFemaleNotionFeministGrandmotherAncestorBellsHookExceptionalMoving AwayFeminist MovementZenithGreat Grandmother Author:Bell Hooks
