"وحين تموت خذ معك فأسا لتكسر باب الفردوس إن أردت الدخول فليس لباب الفردوس مفتاح. لا مفتاح ولا بواب، المفتاح الوحيد هو الفأس .. لا تنظر إليّ برعب أيها الراهب الصغير والفقير والطيب. لقد قال الكتاب المقدس الشيء نفسه: إن الرجال العنيفين قد هيمنوا على السماء بالقوة"

Jennifer Saunders, from “When the Guest Speaker Told Us“
anyway I love things like having independence, being intelligent, taking pride in my skills, not feigning incompetence, referring to myself as a woman instead of a girl, aging unapologetically, having pores, stretch marks, grey hairs, wrinkles and body fat, listening to my body's needs, eating as much as I need to satisfy my hunger, being bare-faced, wearing comfortable clothes, etcetera
