Girls have to be toughened so they can survive a world that presses harder on women.

I am buoyant and expansive and uncontainable--but I always was so, only I never knew it!

A dream is a telegram from the hidden world...Only a fool or an illiterate person ignores it.

Chili, spice of red Thursday, which is the day of reckoning. Day which invites us to pick up the sack of our existence and shake it inside out. Day of suicide, day of murder.

I saw something I hadn't realized before: words wasted energy. I would use my strength instead to nurture my belief that my life would unfurl uniquely.

...don't create snakes out of ropes. You have enough to worry about.

Tomorrow is another day. I've got plenty of things to worry about right now.
