"When a woman marries she belongs to another man; and when she belongs to another man there is nothing more you can say to her."

--

Cesare Pavese

“Any manual labor I've done was purely by mistake.”
“It was my pork chop. But that's ok. I ate his dog food.”
“Sorrow is God's plowshare that turns up and subsoils the depths of the soul, that it may yield richer harvests. If we had never fallen, or were in a glorified state, then the strong torrents of Divine joy would be the normal force to open up all our souls' capacities; but in a fallen world, sorrow, with despair taken out of it, is the chosen power to reveal ourselves to ourselves. Hence it is sorrow that makes us think deeply, long, and soberly.”
“Love is the crowning grace of humanity.”
“To say that God is love is in effect to say simply that love is God.”
“Iraq did nothing to us. Iraq was not responsible for 9/11.”
“God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you.”
“One absolutely crucial change is that feminist film theory is today an academic subject to be studied and taught. "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" was a political intervention, primarily influenced by the Women's Liberation Movement and, in my specific case, a Women's Liberation study group, in which we read Freud and realised the usefulness of psychoanalytic theory for a feminist project.”
