In a way women are fleshier because of estrogen. It's hard for us to lose weight because when we get super skinny we don't ovulate. Women in camps during the Holocaust didn't menstruate and didn't ovulate. They were starving; they were terrified. Why emulate that condition? It's nonsensical to me.

What I would like to give my daughter is freedom. And this is something that must be given by example, not by exhortation.

Friends love misery... our misery is what endears us to our friends.

Pain is not love. Love flowers; love gives without taking; love is serene and calm.

If we can be sufficient unto ourselves, we need fear no entangling webs.

I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me.

Having stopped expecting truth, we rarely get it.
