Cerulean's Favorite Quotations

These are some of my favorite quotations. Let me know what you think or leave some of your own.

"So ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in."

. . . . . . Leonard Cohen

If you're going through hell, keep on going.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .Winston Churchill

There's a devil wrestling with every anorexic. There's a devil wrestling with every bulemic. There's a devil wrestling with every person with an eating disorder. He whispers to them; you're not good enough. You don't deserve this food. You need to be perfect. You're not perfect enough to be loved. You're not perfect enough to be presentable. You will achieve a unique purity if you follow these directions. Then you will be better than anyone else. Then you will be loved. He says, don't listen to the ones around you, they are fools. Don't listen to your body, it is to be overcome. He despises womanly curves. He despises natural female bodies. There's nothing that the forces of darkness like more than to make a woman hate herself. There's nothing that disempowers them more than when she stops . . . . . .Cerulean

They have released against her, our lady Ishtar, the
sixty miseries: miseries of the eyes, of the heart, of
the head, of the sides, miseries against her feet,
miseries against every part of her, miseries against
the entire body of our goddess.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Babylonian Songs

For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but
against the principalities, against the powers,
against the world rulers of this present darkness.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Ephesians 6:12

For God shall bring every work into judgement,
with every secret thing,
whether it be good,
or whether it be evil.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Ecclesiastes 12:14

The only thing I know that truly heals people is
unconditional love.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Elisabeth Kubler-Ross M.D.

Good Living

Good living is an act of intelligence, by which we
choose things which have an agreeable taste rather

"The Physiology of Taste" 1826
