Is a Challenge to be Soft
Soft is harder than the hardest hard.Sweetness is stronger always. These are difficult realizations for any human beings but what it is to be strong and female means to be brazenly feminine, not merely to imitate or be the counterpart to the masculine (Black Diamond Field; Sarah Sophie Flicker & Maximilla Lukacs).

Feminism
'I've never been able to find out precisely what feminism is. I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.'
(Rebecca West)
Be What it Is
Drifting off to sleep, I thought about her. Now nobody is perfect. How you just have to close your eyes and breathe out and let the puzzle of the human heart be what it is.
(Sue Monk Kidd's The Secret Life of Bee)

A Lonely Writer Does
I’m a lonely writer/I live in a box of words/I took memories of you/And make it into my song...

The Fatality of Having Something (or too much)
There is fatality about all physical and intellectual distinction, the sort of fatality that seems to dog through history the faltering steps of kings. It is better not to be different from one's fellow. The ugly and the stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat. They live as we all should live, undisturbed, indifferent and without disquiet.
