Quote by Francois Truffaut

I've always had the impression that real militants are like cleaning women, doing a thankless, daily but necessary job.

Summary

This quote suggests that true activists or fighters for a cause are often overlooked and undervalued, much like cleaning women who perform essential yet unappreciated work on a regular basis. The comparison highlights the idea that these individuals dedicate themselves to tackling important issues without seeking glory or recognition. They are driven by a sense of duty in the pursuit of their cause, regardless of whether or not their efforts are acknowledged or praised by others. Just like cleaning women, their contribution is essential for a better society, even if it goes unnoticed.

The realization of our soul has its moral and its spiritual side. The moral side represents training of unselfishness, control of desire; the spiritual side represents sympathy and love. They should be taken together and never separated. The cultivation of the merely moral side of our nature leads us to the dark region of narrowness and hardness of heart, to the intolerant arrogance of goodness; and the cultivation of the merely spiritual side of our nature leads us to a still darker region of revelry in intemperance of imagination.
