Twenty years after we had left so fierce and proud, we were all right back where we had started, yoked to each other and the same old drama.

Women lose their lives not knowing they can do something different..." from Two or Three Things i Know For Sure

I have wanted everything as a writer and a woman, but most of all a world changed utterly by my revelations.

I don't believe that there is any true friendship without a bond of honor, and the honor in friendship is the respect you give the other that she also gives you.

I claimed myself and remade my life.

Women lose their lives not knowing they can do something different. Men eat themselves up believing they have to be the thing they have been made. Children go crazy. Really, even children go crazy, believing the shape of the life they must live is as small and mean and broken as they are told.

And while it is true that I got the best woman in the world, I don't think love saves you.
