Inspiring Quotes for Monday, May 05, 2025
Love Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers. ~ Susan Sontag In her 2013 essay collection ¡°Regarding the Pain of Others,¡± author Susan Sontag reflected on the ways people respond to violent imagery. She made the argument that it isn¡¯t the quantity of images that desensitizes us to the suffering of others, but our feelings of fear and helplessness that cause us to shut down and turn away. She suggested that compassion without action is not sustainable; it¡¯s a self-serving emotion that ¡°proclaims our innocence as well as our impotence.¡± By examining our privilege and the ways in which it may be linked to the suffering of others, we take the first step in effecting meaningful change.

Inspiring Quotes for Sunday, May 04, 2025
It¡¯s the artists who do the dreaming for society. M¨¦ret Oppenheim Dreams were a major influence on the Dadaist and surrealist artist M¨¦ret Oppenheim. Her father introduced her to the writings of the psychoanalyst Carl Jung when she was 14, and she recorded her dreams throughout her life. Oppenheim¡¯s later use of dreams as inspiration for her art adhered to the very essence of surrealism. Many of her pieces ¡ª sculptures, paintings, photographs, and more ¡ª consist of everyday objects reconfigured to shift their meaning, often alluding to female sexuality. In 1936, she created her most famous piece, ¡°Object,¡± featuring a fur-covered teacup, saucer, and spoon. It was mischievous and undeniably sexual, and the surrealists considered it a quintessential example of the movement. MaryLive long and prosper

Inspiring Quotes for Saturday, May 03, 2025
Falsehood is so easy, truth so difficult. George Eliot George Eliot, born Mary Ann Evans in 1819, chose to write under a male pen name for two reasons: She wanted to avoid the stereotype of women¡¯s writing of her day, and sought to protect herself from the scandal of being an unmarried woman living with a married man. Truth, in her personal life, was indeed difficult ¡ª but truth was also of vital importance to Eliot, even in her fiction. Her novels, including "Middlemarch" and "Silas Marner," were a realistic portrayal of life, full of detailed depictions and psychological insight. As she once wrote, ¡°I aspire to give no more than a faithful account of men and things as they have mirrored themselves in my mind.¡± Mary Live long and prosper

Inspiring Quotes for Friday, May 02, 2025
The only tired I was, was tired of giving in. Rosa Parks On the evening of December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks boarded a bus in downtown Montgomery, Alabama. She paid her fare and sat in the first row of back seats reserved for Black citizens on the segregated bus. When a white man boarded and found himself with no seat in the ¡°white¡± section, the bus driver ordered Parks and three other Black passengers in her row to stand. Three of the passengers obeyed. Parks did not. Her defiance led to her arrest, and set in motion the Montgomery bus boycott ¡ª turning Parks into a symbol of the civil rights movement. She later wrote that it wasn¡¯t physical tiredness that made her refuse to give up her seat, writing, ¡°No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.¡± Mary Live long and prosper
