Man's history is firstly and mainly a history of courage: proof that lacking courage you don't do anything, that if you don't have courage not even intelligence can help.

It's incredible how the pain of the soul is misunderstood. If you're hit by a bullet or a splinter they start immediately screaming quick-nurse-help-him, if you break a leg they'll, should you have a sore throat they'll give you medicine. If your heart is in pieces and you're so desperate that you can't speak, instead, they don't even realize. Yet pain in the soul is a worse illness than a broken leg and a sore throat, it's wounds are deeper and more dangerous than those inflicted by a bullet or a splinter. They're wounds that don't heal, those, wounds that start bleeding again at every pretext.

Nothing hurts, poisons, makes you ill, as disappointment does.
Because disappointment is a pain that derives from vanished hope, a defeat that is always born from betrayed trust, from the turn-face of someone or something in which we believed. And being subjected to it you keel tricked, mocked, humiliated. The victim of an injustice that you weren't expecting, of a failure that you didn't deserve. You feel offended, ridiculous, and sometimes you seek revenge. A choice that can give some relief, let's admit, but that rarely goes with joy and that often costs more than forgiveness.

I'm here in order to explain how much is hypocritical the world that gets fired up for a surgeon who replaces a heart with another, and then approves that thousands of young creatures, with the heart in order, are sent to die, like cows to the slaughterhouse, for the flag.

It's so fascinating to be a woman. It's an adventure that requires such courage, a never tiring challenge. You'll have many things to do if you're born a woman. To start with, you'll have to fight to sustain that if God exists he could also be an old woman with white hair or a beautiful girl. Then you'll have to fight to explain that sin wasn't born the day Eve picked the apple: that day a wonderful virtue was born called disobedience. Lastly you'll have to fight to show that inside your soft and round body there's an intelligence that is asking to be heard.

Sin wasn't born the day Eve picked the apple. That day a splendid virtue was born called disobendience.
