When the past dies, there is mourning, but when the future dies our imaginations are compelled to carry it on.

A movement is only composed of people moving. To feel its warmth and motion around us is the end as well as the means.

If you consider that the gender roles are just political, then what you come to see is that the full circle of human qualities is divided up so that two-thirds are masculine and one-third is feminine.
