Refuse to be afraid that we will no longer be considered attractive and acceptable when we are strong.

I don't think there's anything more important than making peace before it's too late. And it almost always falls to the child to try to move toward the parent.

If you're ever in a situation where you're not getting served or you can't get what you need, just cry.

I am convinced that we become what we do.

We're not meant to be perfect. It took me a long time to learn that.

Don't give up. There are lessons to be learned even in the most horrendous pain. And you don't know that when you're young.
