In reality, on the grand scale, in my opinion... we are actually all responsible for each other.

Because you never know where life is gonna take you, And you can't change where you've been, But today, I have the opportunity to choose.

What tried to demolish me, I allowed to polish me.

Your real job in this world is to be you.

I have, my whole life, been healing the girl inside, the part of me that struggles about being a female in the world. That's why I write about the things I write about.

Beautiful jewelry, a beautiful room - that's what museums are - a beautiful painting, a beautiful face, it makes you feel good to look at, and that's a beautiful thing.
