When a significant other - a spouse, a parent or someone you're close to - is dying, it forces you to think about your life, about what you feel about death. What I realized from my dad's dying was that I wasn't scared of dying. But I was terrified of regrets. I was terrified of getting to the end of my life with a lot of Why didn't I's.

Everyone should know that feeling of overcoming fear and mastering something. People who aren't taught that become soggy.

When women have reclaimed their voices and men reclaimed their hearts, we won't be invading countries, we won't be feeling that we have the right to launch preemptive wars.

It's better to be interested than interesting.

Denial can be a pathology or a survival mechanism - and sometimes it's both.

I feel like when I was an adolescent, and felt so unworthy of love and so empty, I moved outside of myself.

I like to be wild in passion and calculated in expression! I'm both. I like to be wild in passion more. But I think the balance is what's essential.
