“Slavish obedience to the clerics, who know how to squeeze every last drop of advantage out of religion, is killing our girls. We must speak-blaspheme, if necessary; be accused of being apostates, if that is what is required.

“The origin is nameless; the origin is absolutely quiet, it is not whirring about making noise.

Yet a child's need for quietness is the same today as it has always been--it may even be greater--for quietness is an essential part of all awareness.
