Sylvia Fraser Quotations

It is one of the ironies of my life and in many lives that whenever you are the happiest, all of this stuff from the past will come pushing up and demand to be noticed.

My childhood was marked by seizures, which my family interpreted as temper tantrums.

To me, forgiveness is the cornerstone of healing.

I was, in reality, bred by my parents as my father's concubine... What we take for granted as the stability of family life may well depend on the sexual slavery of our children. What's more, this is a cynical arrangement our institutions have colluded to conceal.

Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only in contradiction to what we know of nature.

Knowledge without devotion is like a stone in water.

As the arrow that leaves the bow cannot be recaptured, what we say, senselessly, about others causes us great harm.
