A burnt finger remember the fire.

Dear God...I have always been a good girl. Maybe you can give me a sign letting me know what is happening to me.

The Olinka girls do not believe girls should be educated. When I asked a mother why she thought this, she said: A girl is nothing to herself; only to her husband can she become something. What can she become? I asked. Why, she said, the mother of his children. But I am not the mother of anybody's children, I said, and I am something.

I'm pore, I'm black, I may be ugly and can't cook, a voice say to everything listening. But I'm here.

How sad now never to see men holding hands, while everywhere one looks they are holding guns.

Howard Zinn was magical as a teacher. Witty, irreverent, and wise, he loved what he was teaching and clearly wanted his students to love it, also.

I'm entirely interested in people, and also other creatures and beings, but especially in people, and I tend to read them by emotional field more than anything. So I have a special interest in what they're thinking and who they are and who's hiding behind those eyes and how did he get there, and what's the story, really?
