The freer that women become, the freer men will be. Because when you enslave someone, you are enslaved.
Interpretation
The liberation of women benefits everyone, including men, as true freedom cannot exist in a system of oppression.
This quote emphasizes the interconnectedness of freedom between genders. It suggests that the liberation of women not only empowers them but also leads to a greater sense of freedom for men, indicating that oppression of any group ultimately limits the freedom of all. When one group is oppressed, all individuals within that society are affected, as the social fabric is weakened by such injustice.

In the first grade, I already knew the pattern of my life. I didn't know the living of it, but I knew the line… From the first day in school until the day I graduated, everyone gave me one hundred plus in art. Well, where do you go in life? You go to the place where you got one hundred plus.
I don’t demand that all work be a masterpiece. What I am doing is the right thing for me - that is what I am and this is living. It reflects me and I reflect it.
I always wanted to show the world that art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.
It is the resurrection that makes Good Friday good.

We all suffer alone in the real world. True empathy's impossible. But if a piece of fiction can alow us imaginatively to identify with a character's pain, we might then also more easily conceive of others identifying with their own. This is nourishing, redemptive; we become less alone inside. It might just be that simple.
But we are alone, darling child, terribly, isolated each from the other; so fierce is the world's ridicule we cannot speak or show our tenderness; for us, death is stronger than life, it pulls like a wind through the dark, all our cries burlesqued in joyless laughter; and with the garbage of loneliness stuffed down us until our guts burst bleeding green, we go screaming round the world, dying in our rented rooms, nightmare hotels, eternal homes of the transient heart.
A city with one newspaper, or with a morning and an evening paper under one ownership, is like a man with one eye, and often the eye is glass.
