I always wondered what it took to "be good"
To work on oneself, to make clear that which confuses and depresses us, even if it entails the greatest pain--that is what is meant by being good.
- Rahel Levin Varnhagen, "Briefe," 1877
To work on oneself, to make clear that which confuses and depresses us, even if it entails the greatest pain--that is what is meant by being good.
I hope I am always able to risk everything for the just and right cause.
"It's kind of true, you do disappear off the planet if you are a middle-aged woman, but that has some advatanges as well. Because too much of my life was spent waiting to be seen. Hoping to be seen, hoping to be picked. Once you realise that you aren't looked at that way any more, other things start to happen and you have to depend on other things to get by."
