We understand that Nixon's aggression against Vietnam is a racist aggression, that the American war in Vietnam is a racist war, a white man's war...We deplore that you are being used as cannon fodder for U.S. imperialism. We've seen photographs of American bombs and antipersonnel weapons being dropped, wantonly, accidentally perhaps, on your heads, on the heads of your comrades.

One part of wisdom is knowing what you don't need anymore and letting it go.

An exercise outfit helps because it sets this time apart from the rest of your day and makes it matter more.

Eat only when you are hungry-not because it is one o'clock or seven o'clock or whatever.

I don't want to die without knowing who I am.

We grow up being told, "Be a good girl." When you're told to be good, you have to get rid of whatever is bad.

Consistency can be a trap, especially if it leads to being consistently wrong rather than to stopping, admitting your mistake, and changing course.
