Healthy wolves and healthy women share certain psychic characteristics: keen sensing, playful spirit, and a heightened capacity for devotion. Wolves and women are relational by nature, inquiring, possessed of great endurance and strength. They are deeply intuitive, intensely concerned with their young, their mates, and their pack. They are experienced in adapting to constantly changing circumstances; they are fiercely stalwart and very brave. Yet both have been hounded, harassed, and falsely imputed to be devouring and devious, overly aggressive, of less value than those who are their detractors. They have been the targets of those who would clean up the wilds as well as the wildish environs of the psyche, extincting the instinctual, and leaving no trace of it behind.

Additional quotes by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

يلجأ الناس إلى التأمل للوصول إلى الحالة النفسية السوية، ومن أجل هذا يخضعون للعلاج النفسي والتحليل، وهذا هو السبب الذي من أجلة يحلل الناس أحلامهم ويصنعون الفن، ولهذا يفتحون (الكوتشينة) ويقرأون (الفنجان)، يرقصون، يقرعون الطبول، يصنعون المسرح، يصلون القصيدة ويشعلون الصلاة. لهذا السبب نفعل كل الأشياء التي نفعلها. إنه القيام بتجميع كل العظام من بعضها، ثم ينبغي أن نجلس إلى جوار النار ونفكر في أية أغنية تلك التي سوف نستخدمها في طقوس الغناء فوق العظام، أية ترنيمة للخلق، أية ترنيمة لإعادة الخلق، وسوف تُشكِّل الحقائق التي نتذكرها كيان الأغنية.

Cynicism is the opposite of soulful. Cynicism means the conduit to the soul has a great kink in it, like a garden hose in which nothing flows in either direction. That’s what makes cynicism. If those conduits are open, you cannot be cynical.

we all begin the process before we are ready, before we are strong enough, before we know enough; we begin a dialogue with thoughts and feelings that both tickle and thunder within us. We respond before we know how to speak the language, before we know all the answers, and before we know exactly to whom we are speaking.
