Recycled Animals by Edouard Martinet

Gathering material from flea markets and garage sales, Edward meticulously solders together the scrap from typewriters, kitchen utensils, and car parts like pieces in a 3D animal puzzle. The outcome look just as real as they do synthetic, a prelude to cybernetic fauna that will surely one day rule us all once we’ve imbued them with  metallic hearts.

"Love is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves; we simply awaken it. But in order to do that, we need the other person." — Paulo Coelho - Eleven Minutes (via quote-book)

"I was beginning to see, though, that the unknown wasn’t always the greatest thing to fear. The people who know you best can be riskier, because the words they say and things they think have the potential to be not only scary but true, as well." — Sarah Dessen (Just Listen)

 آية الكرسي Ayatul Kursi | The Throne Verse

"When asked, “Who is most deserving of our kind treatment?” the Prophet ﷺ replied, “Your mother” three times before saying “your father” only once. Is that sexist? No matter what a man does he will never be able to have the status of a mother. And yet, even when God honors us with something uniquely feminine, we are too busy trying to find our worth in reference to men to value it—or even notice. We, too, have accepted men as the standard; so anything uniquely feminine is, by definition, inferior. Being sensitive is an insult, becoming a mother—a degradation. In the battle between stoic rationality (considered masculine) and selfless compassion (considered feminine), rationality reigns supreme. As soon as we accept that everything a man has and does is better, all that follows is a knee-jerk reaction: if men have it, we want it too. If men pray in the front rows, we assume this is better, so we want to pray in the front rows too. If men lead prayer, we assume the imam is closer to God, so we want to lead prayer too. Somewhere along the line we’ve accepted the notion that having a position of worldly leadership is some indication of one’s position with God. A Muslim woman does not need to degrade herself in this way. She has God as a standard. She has God to give her value; she doesn’t need a man." — http://www.suhaibwebb.com/ummah/women/a-woman’s-reflection-on-leading-prayer/ (via ditchhe)
