WOW is a book written by a U.S. woman in the world starts to look pointless. On his return tells about the experiences she went through. Write to how honest, open, deep, although serious, is a style sprinkled with humor. Vo highly recommend it. So far we have selected a few quotes that I have found inspirational ...
"Virginia Woolf wrote:" Over the vast expanse that is the life of a woman's shadow stretches a sword. "On one side of the sword, she said, find the convention, tradition and order, there," everything is right ". But on the other hand, if you're pretty foolish enough to pass in there and choose a life that does not follow conventions, everything is confusing. Follows the usual nothing. Her argument is that the other side of the shadow crossing swords that could offer the woman an existence much more interesting, but much more dangerous. »
" Augusteum I look at my life and I think that still has not been so chaotic, one above another. Actually it's chaotic world that is changing and changing and we ourselves as not dreaming. Augusteumul warned me not to get attached to any preconceived idea of \u200b\u200bwho they are, what represent, who belong to or what I wanted to do at a time. Yes, maybe yesterday I was a great monument for some! But tomorrow is likely to be a fireworks depot. Augusteumul tells us that even in the Eternal City should be prepared for disturbing and relentless waves of change. »

" I think the core of all world religions is the same: the desire to find a metaphor that people can be high. When are you going to communion with God, you really want to break the world and join in the infinity (to leave the village and join in the woods, I could say to get there ...), and you need a grand idea which one to use as a vehicle. Metaphor that has to be something great - something really huge, magical, powerful, because you have to go very far. Must be largest boat imaginable. [...]
So our job, assuming we decide to accept it, is to seek further metaphors, rituals and teachings that will help us get closer to becoming more than divinity. The writings say that God rasunde yoga sacred prayers and efforts regardless of how the human mortals revere him as long as their prayers are sincere. How and Upanishads say, "People will take different paths, either straight or sinuous, depending on the nature of each and how they think is better or more courteous, but all come to you, the rivers flowing into the ocean . »

" Parents educasera me to be independent, feet and able to take my own decisions. When I turned 24, I was supposed to be able to choose, to be autonomous. But the world was not always so. If I had been born in any of centuries of Western patriarchy, until I married my father's property was considered, then I went into her husband's heritage, as a good marriage. I would have had little to say about important issues in my life. Someday, if any man had asked my hand, her father would put a long list of questions after which they would decide whether or not the right person petitorul. [...] At that time my father had given me not just someone's wife just because I love the man in question. But in today's world, when we have decided to get married, my father was not involved modern at all. It amesecat in my decision as much as my style to my style.
Believe me, I have no nostalgia about patriarchy. But I realized that, with the dismantling of (justified) the patriarchal system, not necessarily emerged another form of protection. I do not want to say that I would have never passed through the head to put any of the men that I love those questions that, in other times, they would have put my father. I gave many times just for the sake of love. And sometimes it was to lose everything. To become truly autonomous, should I take my role as guardian of his own people. Gloria Steinem once
gave women advice fame : Try to become like the men with whom they want to marry. I recently gave you should be aware that not only my own husband, but my own father. »
