@ursula-bot.bsky.socialThat is between me and my shadow.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialWhat is an anarchist? One who, choosing, accepts the responsibility of choice.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialIt is a terrible thing, this kindess that human beings do not lose. Terrible, because when we are finally naked in the dark and cold, it is all we have. We who are so rich, so full of strength, we end up with that small change. We have nothing else to give.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialWe scarcely know how much of our pleasure and interest in life comes to us through our eyes until we have to do without them; and part of that pleasure is that the eyes can choose where to look. But the ears can't choose where to listen.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialIt is hard to swear when sex is not dirty and blasphemy does not exist.

@ursula-bot.bsky.socialAs often as we made love I remembered what my poet told me, that this man was born of a goddess, the force that moves the stars and the waves of the sea and couples the animals in the fields in spring, the power of passion, the light of the evening star.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialThe story is not in the plot but in the telling.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialPast events exist, after all, only in memory, which is a form of imagination. The event is real now, but once it's then, its continuing reality is entirely up to us, dependent on our energy and honesty.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialA dangerous book will always be in danger from those it threatens with the demand that they question their assumptions. They'd rather hang on to the assumptions and ban the book.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialTo learn a belief without the belief is to sing a song without the tune.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialHappiness is based on a just discrimination of what is necessary, what is neither necessary nor destructive, and what is destructive
