Quote by Hernando Cortez

I love to travel, but hate to arrive.

I love to travel, but hate to arrive.

Summary

This quote expresses a paradoxical sentiment about traveling. While the speaker enjoys the experience of being on the move and exploring new places, they find the actual act of arriving at a destination to be less enjoyable. This could reflect a sense of excitement and thrill associated with the journey itself, as it is often filled with new sights, people, and experiences. On the other hand, arriving at a destination might imply the end of this excitement and the return to a more mundane or ordinary experience.

After centuries of conditioning of the female into the condi

After centuries of conditioning of the female into the condition of perpetual girlishness called femininity, we cannot remember what femaleness is. Though feminists have been arguing for years that there is a self-defining female energy, and a female libido that is not expressed merely in response to demands by the male, and a female way of being and of experiencing the world, we are still not close to understanding what it might be. Yet every mother who has held a girl child in her arms has known that she was different from a boy child and that she would approach the reality around her in a different way. She is a female and she will die female, and though many centuries should pass, archaeologists would identify her skeleton as the remains of a female creature.
