We're strangers now.

It's strange

To pass you by on the street,

When last year you would bathe me in kisses.

"A divine woman will always be multidimensionally more than what you can fit in your mind. For that reason, she's not meant to be understood. She's an experience."

“‘To refuse, as a woman, to be destroyed, was a crime that society spotted very quickly and punished swiftly and severely.’”

Bien que la nuit ait été faite pour aimer / Et le jour revient trop tôt / Pourtant, nous n’irons plus loin / À la lumière de la lune / À la lumière de la lune

Quote

No one had asked her to marry him, nor was there someone she wished to wed. Not that she did not enjoy the company of young men; She did. But her sharp tongue sliced through their egos and her intellectual thirst quickly soaked up what drops of knowledge they shed.

Janet Wallach, Desert Queen: The Extraordinary Life of Gertrude Bell: Adventurer, Adviser to Kings, Ally of Lawrence of Arabia

"Everyone wanted so many things from her. To believe in herself and see her own true beauty, but not to be conceited--to know her place. Be more than your looks, but never speak out of turn. Don't be defined by love, but remember you're nothing without it. Be a princess, find your prince. You don't need a man to complete you, stand on your own two feet.

from One to Watch, by Kate Stayman-London

How to look young after 50: Nadezhda Babkina explained everything with an appropriate phrase

Nadezhda Babkina is clear proof that sometimes age is nothing more than a number in your passport. Nadezhda has been on the stage for almost half a century: once in an interview the actress joked that she gave birth to both a son and a pop group – the main brainchild of the artist, the Russian Song ensemble was created in 1975. Since then, Nadezhda Babkina has been in the public eye, and…

“In order for a woman to become soft and vulnerable with you, she has to know she has the environment and connection to do so first. She's been in relationships where her energy and softness was taken advantage of—so she is more cautious on who can experience that side of her.

If a woman doesn't feel safe or comfortable around you, she won't be vulnerable—she'll be cautious and ready to pounce for her protection. She won't allow you to have access to a side of her that you haven't proven to be worthy of, so it's up to you how she decided to act.”

Yumna Al-Arashi, Axis of Evil (Yemen, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq), 2020

in Leica Fotografie International (LFI) magazine:

"This photograph was made for my first European solo show in Berlin, in the gallery Anahita Contemporary. It's a self-portrait alongside Anahita Sadighi, Moshtari Hilal and Susu AbdulMajid. We are respectively from Yemen, Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq. Despite our different roots I noticed that we all share a similar background, having grown up in Western nations that often vilify the places our families are from. I also noticed the strong profiles of each of our faces. So I decided to create this portrait with the title Axis of Evil – a play on the term so frequently used to describe our home countries when we were growing up. It also embraces the beauty of our distinctive noses, which are often treated as ugly, something to be changed. I wanted to embrace these qualities of ours in this image, creating something powerful, defiant."

#couldn't find this one specifically on tumblr so. here it is now #yumna al-arashi #women photographers #women artists #photography #imperialism #MENA #SWANA #middle east #yemen #afghanistan #iran #iraq #wanted that quote on here because you all know how i am about noses and there is little that i can say that others haven't.#features #faces #women

Quote

The vanity extended most of all to his library, arguably the real love of Cicero's life. It is difficult to name anything in which he took more pleasure, aside possibly evasion of the sumptuary laws. Cicero liked to believe himself wealthy. He prided himself on his books. He needed no further reason to dislike Cleopatra: intelligent women who had better libraries than he did offended him on three counts.
