16. “I think many people in my community had very different kinds of mothers: they had mothers who acquiesced in the system of male and white-supremacist domination, and my mother never did. She just could not do it. It just wasn't in her.”
Alice Walker
Motherhood, Strength, Resistance, Society, Justice
19. “Yoga talks only about the barriers that you have set up, because this resistance is all that needs to be attended to. The Creator is not looking for your attention. The ropes that bind you and the walls that block you – these are one hundred percent of your making. And these are all you need to unknot and dismantle. You have no work with existence. You only have work with the existence that you have created.” Sadhguru Yoga, Barriers, Resistance, Self, Existence
20. “Because your self-preservation instinct keeps telling you, “Unless you have walls you are not safe,” unconsciously you keep building them. Later, you struggle with them. This is an endless cycle. But creation is not unwilling to open to you the doors to the beyond. It is not creation’s unwillingness that you are struggling with. You are struggling with the walls of resistance that you have built around yourself.” Sadhguru Self-preservation, Resistance, Fear, Struggle, Creation
21. “If you avoid any experience – whether pain or pleasure, sorrow or joy – it is big karma. But if you go through the experience without resisting it, the karma dissolves. This is why Krishna in the great Indian epic the Mahabharata says that hesitation is the worst of all crimes.” Sadhguru Karma, Experience, Resistance, Krishna, Mahabharata
25. “Men are destroyed for being rebellious, and women destroy themselves by failing to be rebellious. Unless you can make that next jump to either getting along with people or resisting people, you are ultimately destroying yourself.” Chuck Palahniuk Rebellion, Gender, Society, Resistance, Self-destruction
