love
If you love a flower, don't pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about Appreciation. ~Osho

Virginia Woolf on war and women's emancipation
"Als je absoluut wil vechten om mij te beschermen, of om "ons land" te beschermen, laat het dan duidelijk zijn dat je eigenlijk vecht uit een seksueel instinct dat ik niet deel, om voordelen te bekomen waarvan ik niet geniet en waarschijnlijk ook nooit zal genieten; want als vrouw heb ik geen land, als vrouw wil ik geen land, als vrouw is de hele wereld mijn land."
In Three Guineas (1938) verklaart Virginia Woolf waarom ze als vrouw pacifist is.
The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emanciptation.
Virginia Woolf in: 'A room of one's own'

Aloneness and silence
"Aloneness and silence are two aspects of one experience, two sides of the same coin. If one wants to experience silence one has to go into one´s total aloneness. It is there.
We are born alone, we die alone. Between these two realities we create a thousand and one illusions of being together - all kinds of relationships, friends and enemies, loves and hates, nations, races, religions. We create all kinds of hallucinations just to avoid one fact: that we are alone. But whatsoever we do, the truth cannot be changed. It is so, and rather than trying to escape from it, the best way is to rejoice in it.
Rejoicing in your own aloneness is what meditation is all about. The meditator is one who dives deep into one´s aloneness, knowing that we are born alone, we will be dying alone, and deep down we are living alone. So why not experience what this aloneness is? It is our very nature, our very being."

Oh woman
Oh woman if you get married you will lower your wings, you will lose your freedom about love. When a woman is unmarried she is half crazy, when she gets married she becomes totally crazy.

the power of 'one'
We don't have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change.
Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.

responsability
You are not responsible for the programming you picked up in childhood.
However, as an adult, you are one hundred percent responsible for fixing it.
Ken Keyes, Jr.
Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.
