Just as i have insisted on his worth, he has always insisted on my strength, insisted that my capacity is greater than i believe. and i know, without being told, that's what love does, when it's right-it makes you more than you were, more than you thought you could be. this is right.

More From Veronica Roth

To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. if by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. if by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? without her, man could not be. if nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?

I wish i were stronger and more secure in myself so that i could really spend my life with a guy like lenny. because he has a different kind of strength than joshie. he has the strength of his sweet tuna arms. he has the strength of putting his nose in my hair and calling it home. he has the strength to cry when i go down on him. who is lenny? who does that? who will ever open up to me like that again? no one. because it's too dangerous. lenny is a dangerous man. joshie is more powerful, but lenny is much more dangerous.

I really believe that an awakening, a greater perspective on our lives and existence is happening. it's really the firing of archetypes that are already built into our brains, we just are able to awaken to a point where we can see a greater beauty in the world, a greater connection and sense of well being. this is what the mystics speak about. the insights fire us up into a greater consciousness on the planet. so it is a greater consciousness at the same time and a greater awareness of our spiritual nature. that is what the 'aha' is.

Hardship, in forcing us to exercise greater patience and forbearance in daily life, actually makes us stronger and more robust. from the daily experience of hardship comes a greater capacity to accept difficulties without losing our sense of inner calm. of course, i do not advocate seeking out hardship as a way of life, but merely wish to suggest that, if you relate to it constructively, it can bring greater inner strength and fortitude.

Human love, human trust, are always perilous, because they break down. the greater the love, the greater the trust, and the greater the peril, the greater the disaster. because to place absolute trust on another human being is in itself a disaster, both ways, since each human being is a ship that must sail its own course, even if it go in company with another ship.... and yet, love is the greatest thing between human beings.
Love Is Way Ships
I know that pain is the most important thing in the universes. greater than survival, greater than love, greater even than the beauty it brings about. for without pain, there can be no pleasure. without sadness, there can be no happiness. without misery there can be no beauty. and without these, life is endless, hopeless, doomed and damned. adult. you have become adult.

The right of voting for representatives is the primary right by which other rights are protected. to take away this right is to reduce a man to slavery, for slavery consists in being subject to the will of another, and he that has not a vote in the election of representatives is in this case.

Because people learn from their mistakes, danger. pain and failure are a natural part of life. it's kind of like a parent who watches their child fall down while learning to walk. instead of coddling the child, you set them back on their feet and let them try again. they have to stumble before they can run. (alexion) do you really believe that we need to have our hearts ripped out? (danger) a flower can't grow without rain. (alexion) too much rain and it drowns. (danger) and yet the most beautiful of the lotus flowers are the ones that grow in the deepest mud. (alexion)

I wanted to bring the book out right now because i think anyone who cares about tibet knew there would be disturbances in the run up to the olympics [2008]. many tibetans feel it's their last chance to broadcast their suffering and frustration and pain to the world before the olympics take place and china is accepted as a modern nation and the world forgets about tibet.

Of course, there is nothing new about this kind of civil disobedience. it was seen sublimely in the refusal of shadrach, meshach and abednego to obey the laws of nebuchadnezzar because a higher moral law was involved. it was practiced superbly by the early christians who were willing to face hungry lions and the excruciating pain of chopping blocks, before submitting to certain unjust laws of the roman empire.
