When I was very young, I remember my mother telling me about a friend of hers in Germany, a pianist who played a symphony that wasn't permitted, and the Germans came up on stage and broke every finger on her hands. I grew up with stories of Nazis breaking the fingers of Jews.

The first thing I learned in boxing is to not get hit. That's the art of boxing. Execute your opponent without getting hit. In sports school we were putting our hands behind our backs and having to defend ourselves with our shoulders, by rolling, by moving round the ring, moving out feet.

Why does everyone want to own me? Pippa mumbles. She's got her head in her hands. Why do they all want to control my life -- how I look, whom I see, what I do or don't do? Why can't they just let me alone? Because you're beautiful, Ann answers, watching the fire lick her palm. People always think they can own beautiful things.

Those who voluntarily put power into the hands of a tyrant ... must not wonder if it be at last turned against themselves.
Aesop
Image
On the one hand I follow a vocation because I have an ability that I should exercise, but I want to use it for a reason, because I don't see that the freedoms that I enjoy are God-given realities. So I have a very healthy, activist general tension in me which feels that no, this is not gratuitous, it is important to keep this in focus.
Wolfgang Tillmans

The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The foot that is familiar with the grass belongs usually to a man of lighter heart than he whose soles seldom wander from the pavement and the best elixir vitæ is a run, as often as we can contrive it, amid the sweets of new and lovely scenery, where nature sits, fresh from the hand of the Creator, almost chiding us for our delay.
Leopold Hartley Grindon

Justice shines in very smoky homes, and honors the righteous but the gold-spangled mansions where the hands are unclean she leaves with eyes averted.
Aeschylus
Image
The cure is in the house, not brought by other hands from distant places, but by its own, in agony and blood.

Well, Fang said, mimicking a thick Southern drawl. I must say its mighty nice of them Daimons to clean up after themselves when you kill them He held his hands up to them. Look Ma, no mess. Does Fang have an off switch? Talon asked Vane.
Sherrilyn Kenyon

I am not willing to be drawn further into the toils. I cannot accede to the acceptance of gifts upon terms which take the educational policy of the university out of the hands of the Trustees and Faculty and permit it to be determined by those who give money.

He ran his hand up and down his left achilles tendon. Very tender better pay attention to it and back off if it gets any worse. Maybe ice it. The old Injury Evasion Fandango. Did it ever end?

Question your thoughts. Question your stories. Question your assumptions. Question your opinions. Question your conclusions. Question them all into utter emptiness, stillness and joy. The keys to freedom are in your hands. Use them.
