If all girls .

If all girls were taught

 how to  l o v e  each other fiercely
instead of
how to  c o m p e t e  with each other
and
h a t e  their own bodies,

 what a different
and  b e a u t i f u l  world
we would live in.

proud .

You're so hard on yourself.

Take a   m o m e n t  .
Sit back.

M a r v e l   at your life:

at the   g r i e f
that softened you,
at the heartache
that  w i s e n e d   you,
at the suffering
that  s t r e n g t h e n e d  you.

Despite everything,
you still  g r o w .
Be   p r o u d  of this.

requisites.

“ Nine requisites for contented living

H e a l t h
enough to make work a pleasure

W e a l t h
enough to support your needs

S t r e n g t h
to battle with difficulties and overcome them

G r a c e
enough to confess your sins and forsake them

P a t i e n c e
enough to toil until some good is accomplished

C h a r i t y
enough to see some good in your neighbor

L o v e
enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others

F a i t h
enough to make real the things of God

H o p e
enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future. ”


- Goethe

superior.

" Everybody has to feel
 s u p e r i o r  to somebody

But it's customary
to present a little  p r o o f 
before you take the privilege.” 

― Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's

poet.

“The  p o e t
therefore is truly the  t h i e f  of fire.

He is  r e s p o n s i b l e  for humanity
for animals even.

He will have to make sure
his  v i s i o n s
can be smelled, fondled, listened to

If what he brings back from beyond has form
he gives it form
If it has none
he gives it none

A  l a n g u a g e  must be found
of the soul, for the soul
and will include everything

perfumes, sounds colors
thought  g r a p p l i n g  with thought”

selfish.

“ That ain’t  l o v e .

Being  s e l f i s h
separates the  d e s i r e  to be ‘present’
and feeds your need
for a   s u p e r m a n  complex.

You can’t save everybody.”

friendship.

“The glory of friendship

is not the outstretched hand
not the kindly smile
nor the joy of companionship

It is the spiritual inspiration
that comes to one
when you discover that

someone else believes in you
and is willing to trust you
with a friendship.” 



- Ralph Waldo Emerson

candor.

“ There is nothing in the world
more difficult than  c a n d o r
and nothing easier than flattery

If there is a hundredth of a fraction
of a false note to candor
it immediately produces  d i s s o n a n c e
and as a result
e x p o s u r e

But in  f l a t t e r y
even if everything is false down to the last note
it is still pleasant
and people will listen not without pleasure
with coarse pleasure perhaps
but  p l e a s u r e  nevertheless. ” 


- Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

bicycle.

“ I  l o v e d  you

 head over handles
like my first bicycle accident 

Before the mouthful of gravel and blood
I swore we were  f l y i n g

I want to get back on and ride

But I’m not sure

if you’ll ever let me. "

愛.

" 愛應該是
永遠在每個人心裡

雖然我個人認為
每個人終究都是要孤獨的

所以我說
寂寞永生

但是如果有一天
愛還在你心裡的話

你就不至於絕望吧 "

知識.

" 如果學了一大堆知識
不能拿來實踐你對這個世界的看法
只是用來作為個人開竅用
我覺得是相當可惜的

畢竟一個人拼命念了一大堆書
結果只是提高區區一個人的智商
怎麼想都覺得很浪費


試著了解世界

不就是為了更好地改變它嗎? "

law.

"If people
take the  l a w  into their own hands
then there is no law

Everyone has to  m a t t e r
or nobody matters

That’s when you lose faith
That’s when you get vigilantes. "

reds.

“ You know the days
when you get the mean  r e d s ?

The  b l u e s  are because you’re getting fat
and maybe it’s been raining too long

You’re just sad
That’s all

The mean reds are horrible
Suddenly you’re  a f r a i d
and you don’t know what you’re afraid of

Do you ever get that feeling?”



- Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's

difficulties.

"  D i f f i c u l t i e s
break some men but make others.

No axe is sharp enough

to cut the soul of a sinner
who keeps on  t r y i n g,

one armed with the h o p e
that he will  r i s e  even in the end."


- Nelson Mandela
