L’art devrait troubler notre confort, et conforter nos troubles.

-- Cesar Cruz

My version?

L'art devrait conforter le troublé et troubler le confortable.

And here's the English version.

le bon chemin / le droit chemin

Writer 1:
Est-ce qu'il y a une différence entre le bon chemin et le chemin droit ?
Tout à l'heure, j'ai laissé un message, mais je ne savais pas dire le bon chemin ou le chemin droit !

Contexte : Merci à vous qui nous guidez sur le bon chemin / le chemin droit. (ici, je parle du chemin d'apprentissage du français)
Cependant, j'ai écrit le bon chemin !
Est-ce que les deux sont possibles ?

Writer 2:
Vous n'avez pas dit le chemin bon, et vous avez bien fait.
De même on ne dit pas le chemin droit (à moins de parler de celui qui est à droite).
Mais vous auriez très bien pu dire le droit chemin.
Cependant le droit chemin s'emploie plutôt en matière de morale ou... de droit.
Donc vous avez fait le meilleur choix, à mon sens.    

Writer 3:
Je dirais plutôt "le droit chemin". S'il s'agit de l'apprentissage du français, le "droit chemin" ne convient pas car ce chemin-là est plutôt celui des valeurs morales...

Writer 4:
Le bon chemin ! Le chemin droit n'a pas ce sens, c'est un chemin qui ne serpente pas. Mais tu peux aussi parler de droit chemin, c'est celui qui suit les règles de la société, les mœurs en vigueur, sans s'en écarter (d'où droit).

15 Important Truths That Will Change How You Think About Introverts

A Nigerian acquaintance once asked me if I was worried that men would be intimidated by me. I was not worried at all.  In fact, it had not occurred to me to be worried because a man who would be intimidated by me is exactly the kind of man I would have no interest in.

-- Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

... so in a literal way, men rule the world.  And this made sense a thousand years ago because human beings lived then in a world in which physical strength was the most important attribute for survival.  The physically stronger person was more likely to lead and men in general are physically stronger.  Of course, there are many exceptions.  But today we live in a vastly different world.  The person more likely to lead is not the physically stronger person.  It is the more creative person, the more intelligent person, the more innovative person.  And there are no hormones for those attributes.

I found out about this talk when I discovered that Beyoncé included an excerpt of it on her new album.  Jovonne later referenced the talk on a message that she posted on Facebook.

Here's what I found on Jovonne's message:

"In addition to the women who earn our respect and adoration for their appropriate hemlines and perfect posture, we need women who will stand out and stand up. We need women with big hair and red lipstick and hoops. We need women of defiance. We need women who sometimes cuss and shit and uncross their legs and make love but also fuck–on their own terms, for their own pleasure, without apology"

“The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action" by Audre Lorde

http://shrinkingphallus.wordpress.com/the-transformation-of-silence-into-language-and-action-by-audre-lorde/

Jovonne wrote this on Facebook:

"I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood. That the speaking profits me, beyond any other effect...

My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you. But for every real word spoken, for every attempt I had ever made to speak those truths for which I am still seeking, I had made contact with other women while we examined the words to fit a world in which we all believed, bridging our differences...
What are the words you do not have yet? What do you need to say? What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence?...

And, of course, I am afraid– you can hear it in my voice– because the transformation of silence into language and action is an act of self-revelation and that always seems fraught with danger. But my daughter... said, “tell them about how you’re never really a whole person if you remain silent, because there’s always that one little piece inside of you that wants to be spoken out, and if you keep ignoring it, it gets madder and madder and hotter and hotter, and if you don’t speak it out one day it will just up and punch you in the mouth.” ...

And it is never without fear; of visibility, of the harsh light of scrutiny and perhaps of judgment, of pain, of death. But we have lived through all of those already, in silence, except death. And I remind myself all the time now, that if I was to have been born mute or had maintained an oath of silence my whole life long for safety, I would still have suffered, and I would still die. It is very good for establishing perspective...

We can learn to work and speak when we are afraid in the same way we have learned to work and speak when we are tired. For we have been socialized to respect fear more than our own needs for language and definition, and while we wait in silence for that final luxury of fearlessness, the weight of that silence will choke us.
The fact that we are here and that I speak not these words is an attempt to break that silence and bridge some of those differences between us, for it is not difference which immobilizes us, but silence. And there are so many silences to be broken." ~ “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action" by Audre Lorde
