“For many women, the commonest words are having to be sifted through, rejected, laid aside for a long time, or turned to the light for new colors and flashes of meaning: power, love, control, violence, political, personal, private, friendship, community, sexual, work, pain, pleasure, self, integrity” — Adrienne Rich

“Only in the unconscious place, will the repressed manage to survive” — Hélène Cixous
