People are so obsessed with that these days. As long as you're healthy, what difference do a few pounds make? Crazy diets. Thirteen-year-old girls on magazine covers who wind up in hospitals because they're so anorexic. Real women don't look like that. And who wants them to? No one wants a woman who looks sick or like she;s been from a refugee camp.

Life, a good life, a great life is about "Why not?" May we never forget it.

She didn't want to let go of him, or the baby, but sometimes life made you give up what you loved most.

Like a small animal burrowing into its hole, I shift furniture around, and back myself into a cozy corner, with my back to the wall...and then I can write.

I don't just want to catch some guy and have a bunch of kids. I want to make something of myself.

You can’t move ahead until you bury the past.

Nothing is irreversible except dying.
