More From Helen Rowland

We must be forewarned that only rarely does a text easily lend itself to the reader's curiosity... the reading of a text is a transaction between the reader and the text, which mediates the encounter between the reader and writer. it is a composition between the reader and the writer in which the reader "rewrites" the text making a determined effort not to betray the author's spirit.
Reading Learning Effort
From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.

I do not know what might be the most fitting description.... i am a sinner. this is the most accurate definition. it is not a figure of speech, a literary genre. i am a sinner. and this is what i said when they asked me if i would accept my election as pontiff: i am a sinner, but i trust in the infinite mercy and patience of our lord jesus christ, and i accept in a spirit of penance.

We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. we make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. when one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? the woman is born from woman; there is none without her. only the one true lord is without woman

In this film [the last king of scotland] i am the rooky in the cast. everyone has miles of experience than me and della is in the same situation, so life imitated art in many ways. i don't think i could be a journalist. i wouldn't make a very good journalist, especially in washington and working in politics, which i think would be really tough.
