Carolina QuotesWe are all born creative. Creativity is not a gift that comes to us from heaven. It is something inside us. We are born with it. Men and women, female and male, black and white, poor and rich. But we loose this creativity by the way we are brought up, by education, by the educational system.

But what I can do is to undo what education did to you

Yet not for a single moment did I have any doubts about my own integrity and honour as a woman. I knew that my profession had been invented by men, and that men were in control of both our worlds, the one on earth, and the one in heaven. That men force women to sell their bodies at a price, and that the lowest paid body is that of a wife. All women are prostitutes of one kind or another.
