Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.
Margaret Fuller (1810 - 1850), Woman in the Nineteenth Century, 1845
What is most beautiful in virile men is something feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine.
Susan Sontag (1933 - 2004), Against Interpretation, 1966

When we honestly ask ourselves
which person in our lives means
the most to us, we often find
that it is those who,
instead of giving advice,
solutions, or cures, have chosen
rather to share our pain and touch
our wounds with a warm and
tender hand. The friend who can be
silent with us in a moment of despair
or confusion, who can stay with us in
an hour of grief and bereavement,
who can tolerate not knowing,
not curing, not healing and face
with us the reality of our powerlessness,
that is a friend who cares.
~Henri Nouwen~
