“The most beautiful things in life are unassuming and simple to begin with.”
Merlin Franco, A Dowryless Wedding

“If you had closed your eyes and looked inward, you would have seen me; you would have seen us. We have always been inseparable, like night and day, light and dark, flowers and fruits, and spirituality and sexuality.”
Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker

“Tantra is about cultivating ecstasy and the awe for Shakti—the raw feminine energy that drives the world. When the male force Shiva and the feminine Shakti unite in unrestrained love, freedom is born. Freedom from ignorance, fear, hatred, bigotry, patriarchy, and misogyny.”
Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker

“Buccal list: A list of food a person has never tried before but wants to taste during their lifetime.”
Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker

“If you had closed your eyes and looked inward, you would have seen me; you would have seen us. We have always been inseparable, like night and day, light and dark, flowers and fruits, and spirituality and sexuality.”
Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker

“Swim, crawl, stagger, walk, bend, stagger and gone – that’s life in simple terms, and all that matters here is how well we fought.”
Merlin Franco, A Dowryless Wedding

“We have only one option, to struggle or succumb. The choice is ours.”
Merlin Franco, A Dowryless Wedding
