“It is true that many Jews use, shamelessly, the slaughter of the 6,000,000 by the Third Reich as proof that they cannot be bigots–or in the hope of not being held responsible for their bigotry. It is galling to be told by a Jew whom you know to be exploiting you that he cannot possibly be doing what you know he is doing because he is a Jew.”
“The body has been made so problematic for women that it has often seemed easier to shrug it off and travel as a disembodied spirit.”— Adrienne Rich; “Of Woman Born”

“My Time My time is running out and still i have not sung the true song the great song i admit that I seem to have lost my courage a glance at the mirror a glimpse into my heart makes me want to shut up forever so why do you lean me here oh Lord of my Life lean me at this table in the middle of the night wondering how to be beautiful”— Leonard Cohen Book of Longing
“Yet to hide passion totally (or even to hide, more simply, its excess) is inconceivable: not because the human subject is too weak, but because passion is in essence made to be seen: the hiding must be seen: ‘I want you to know I am hiding something from you,’ that is the active paradox I must resolve: at one and the same time it must be known and not known: I want you to know that I don’t want to show my feelings… Every passion, ultimately, has its spectator.”— Roland Barthes, A Lover’s Discourse
