‘The dried up beds of old smiles.’
(Description of crow’s feet)
‘Freedom was not in the mind or the imagination, but to be fought for, in the here and now.’
‘I have broken out of the cage that encloses me, and opened a shutter to the outside world. I feel no chains. I can fly higher and higher because the bars of my cage are open.’
‘Heroes are just people who do what needs to be done.’
‘Shame and self-hate did not start with me, but with all my heart, I deign that they will stop with me.’
‘I am carving my own niche in this world of craziness.’
‘Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.’
‘I will not be like a bird bred in a cage, I thought, too dull to fly even when the door stands open.’
– Circe – Madeline Miller
‘If you yourself are a shy one, then please try not to settle for living in your isolation cage. Take every opportunity a stranger or colleague or associate may offer and run with it. There is no need to be scared of people or believe that what you have to contribute is worthless. Take a chance, get involved and slowly the cage will open.’
‘The truth of a thing is the feel of it, not the think of it.’
