Mõtted sildiga: naine
Hiietantsijad vol 13
Viimasel ajal püütakse pea igal sammul inimesele sisendada, et nad mõtlevad liiga vähe, et nad ei tea, kes nad on ja miks nad on, mida nad siin teevad. Ja nad peavad selleks et nende elu sujuma hakkaks, selle kõik välja uurima. Kas see ongi kangelase teekond? Tal pole aimugi, sest muinasjuttudes lähevad laia maailma ju ainult poisid ja mehed. Tüdrukud ja naised lehvitavad neile, pisar silmas, taskurätiga järele. Nende kangelastegu on ootamine. Kallima tagasituleku ootamine. Vangitornis istumine ja ootamine, millal kangelane sind päästma ilmub; kuningalossis ootamine, millal kangelane sind päästma ilmub; kuningalossis ootamine, millal mõnigi peigmehe kandidaat vaprust üles näitab või on vähemalt sümpaatne. Ootamine, millal saad kaheksateist ja siis end värtnaga poolsurnuks torkad. Ootamine, millal prints tuleb sulle kinga jalga proovima. Ainult mõnes üksikus loos paneb tüdruk endale mehe riided selga ja asub ise tegutsema.

Every time you pretend to be less than you are, you steal permission from other women to exist fully.

Untamed vol 63
Studies prove that the more powerful, successful, and happy a man becomes, the more people trust and like him. But the more powerful and happy a women becomes, the less people like and trust her.

I’ve also learned that while choosing joy makes it easier for me to love myself and my life, it seems to make it harder for the world to love me.

A woman becomes a responsible parent when she stops being an obedient daughter.

Untamed vol 44
The problem is that the parts of themselves that our boys have been banished from are not feminine traits; they are human traits.

Untamed vol 42
It’s a lifelong battle for a woman to stay whole and free in a world hell-bent on caging her.

Untamed vol 40
Untamed vol 38
Ready meant having an internal narrative about what it means to be a woman that they could weigh against the world’s narrative. I did not have an alternative narrative as a child, so when the world told me that a real girl is small, a quiet, pretty, accommodating, and pleasant, I believed that this was the Truth.

Maybe Eve was never meant to be our warning. Maybe she was meant to be our model.

Untamed vol 35
What women want is good. What women want is beautiful. And what women want is dangerous, but not to women. Not to the common good. What women want is a threat to the injustice of the status quo.
lk 121
Untamed vol 31
So, we do not honor our own bodies, curiosity, hunger, judgment, experience, or ambition. Instead, we lock away our true selves. Women who are best at this disappearing act earn the highest praise: She is so selfless.
