Today is the birthday of the following people:
Naomi Wolf (1962 - ):
“A Mother who radiates self-love and self-acceptance actually VACCINATES her daughter against low self-esteem.”
and
“She wins who calls herself beautiful and challenges the world to change to truly see her.”
Elizabeth Cady
Stanton (1815 – 1902):
“The moment we begin
to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us,
and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods
of light and life no longer flow into our souls.”
Ryan Gosling (1980 -
):
“The theme for me is
love and the lack of it. We all want that and we don't know how to get it, and
everything we do is some kind of attempt to capture it for ourselves.”
Kathleen Hanna (1968
- ):
"Because we don't wanna
assimilate to someone else's (boy) standards of what is or isn't."
Neil Young (1945 - ):
“If you follow every
dream, you might get lost.”
and
“Don't let it bring you down.
It's only castles burning,
find someone who's turning,
and you will come around.”
Roland Barthes (1915 – 1980):
“Am I in love? --yes, since I am waiting. The other one never
waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn't wait; I try to
busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game. Whatever
I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time.
The lover's fatal identity is precisely this: I am the one who waits.”
Karl Marx (1897 – 1985):
“The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various
ways: the point, however, is to change it.”
and
“Question everything.”
and
“Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who
make you laugh, who help you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care.
They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing
through.”
