Awareness is the capacity to embrace, accept and include both joy and sadness, love and aloneness, light and darkness, male and female qualities and life and death. Through saying “yes” and accepting both tendencies and including whatever aspect that happens in the moment, we meet our unlimited and boundless inner being. The inner man and woman need to find their own independence and integrity.","author":"Swami Dhyan Giten","tags":["acceptance","aloneness","awareness","darkness","death","female","inner-being","joy","life","light","love","male","meditation","moment","sadness","sorrow","yes"],"id":10265,"author_id":"Swami+Dhyan+Giten"},{"text":"If I were going to convert to any religion I would probably choose Catholicism because it at least has female saints and the Virgin Mary.","author":"Margaret Atwood","tags":["choose","going","female "],"id":11197,"author_id":"Margaret+Atwood"},{"text":"You are not born to follow the society, you are born to inspire it - you are born to teach it - you are born to build it.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["achievement","bad-woman","brainy","female","female-beauty","female-characters","female-empowerment","female-hero","female-liberation","female-protagonist","females","feminine","feminine-power","femininity","feminism","feminism-identity","feminismo","feminist","feminist","feminists","girl","girl-power","girl","girls","good-woman","great-woman","great-women","humanism","humanity","humankind","inspirational","inspiring-women","leadership","leadership-development","man-and-woman","man-and-woman","mankind","neuropsychology","success","woman","woman","woman","woman-s-character","woman-s-strength","womanhood","women","women-and-men","women-empowerment","women","women-s-inspirational","women-s-rights","women-s-strength","womens-rights","words-of-wisdom"],"id":12283,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"Beauty can make a woman rich, but if she relies solely on her looks to get by, she'll always remain under a man's thumb.","author":"Ma Jian","tags":["china","female","females","male-chauvinism","oppression","rural-peasants","womenhood"],"id":16693,"author_id":"Ma+Jian"},{"text":"Much of the demand for women in combat comes from female officers who are eager for medals and promotions.","author":"Phyllis Schlafly","tags":["medals","combat","female "],"id":17994,"author_id":"Phyllis+Schlafly"},{"text":"You frequently state, and in your letter you imply, that I have developed a completely one-sided outlook and look at everything in terms of science. Obviously my method of thought and reasoning is influenced by a scientific training – if that were not so my scientific training will have been a waste and a failure. But you look at science (or at least talk of it) as some sort of demoralizing invention of man, something apart from real life, and which must be cautiously guarded and kept separate from everyday existence. But science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated. Science, for me, gives a partial explanation of life. In so far as it goes, it is based on fact, experience and experiment. Your theories are those which you and many other people find easiest and pleasantest to believe, but so far as I can see, they have no foundation other than they leaf to a pleasanter view of life (and an exaggerated idea of our own importance)...I agree that faith is essential to success in life (success of any sort) but I do not accept your definition of faith, I.E. Belief in life after death. In my view, all that is necessary for faith is the belief that by doing our best we shall come nearer to success and that success in our aims (the improvement of the lot of mankind, present and future) is worth attaining. Anyone able to believe in all that religion implies obviously must have such faith, but I maintain that faith in this world is perfectly possible without faith in another world…It has just occurred to me that you may raise the question of the creator. A creator of what? ... I see no reason to believe that a creator of protoplasm or primeval matter, if such there be, has any reason to be interested in our significant race in a tiny corner of the universe, and still less in us, as still more significant individuals. Again, I see no reason why the belief that we are insignificant or fortuitous should lessen our faith – as I have defined it.","author":"Rosalind Franklin","tags":["1940","atheism","creator","fact","female","historical","historical-non-fiction","history","letter","science","science-vs-religion"],"id":19278,"author_id":"Rosalind+Franklin"},{"text":"There were many women in the Soviet scientific community, proportionately more so than in the United States.
