Sayings & Quotes

[Lilith7]

“And in the end, I believe that we don't need to do anything to be loved. We spend our lives trying to seem prettier, smarter. But I realised two things.
Those who love us see us with their hearts & attribute qualities to us beyond those we really have.
And those who don't love us will never be satisfied with all our efforts.
Yes, I really believe it is important to leave our imperfections alone.
They are precious to understand those who see us with the heart.”
Frida Kahlo



“Rich kids should go to public schools.The mayor should ride the subway to work. When wealthy people get sick, they should be sent to public hospitals. Business executives should have to stand in the same airport security lines as everyone else.
The very fact that these people want to buy their way out of all these experiences points to the reason why they shoudn't be able to. Private schools & private limos & private doctors & private security are all pressure release valves that eliminate the friction that would cause powerful people to call for all or some of these bad things to get better.
The degree to which we allow the rich to insulate themselves from the unpleasant reality that others are forced to experience is directly related to how long that reality is allowed to stay unpleasant.
When they are left with no other option, rich people will force improvement in public systems. Their public spirit will be infinitely less urgent when they are contemplating these things from afar than when they are sitting in a hot ER waiting room for six hours
themselves.”
