I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

Being Nice

"When we cloak our desires in niceties and seductions, we protect ourselves from being known directly and imply that others must always be nice to us.   This kind of eggshell quality of female desire suggests that our needs must be hidden, that they are dangerous."   Polly Young-Eisendrath
