We are at our finest when we take care of each other.

I guess that's the upside of not being young anymore... You know from experience that the struggle always leads, in some way, to something better.

The human condition is imperfection. And that's how it's supposed to be.

It's more important to be interesting, to be vivid, and to be adventurous than to sit pretty for pictures.

I believe women are too hard on themselves. I believe that when you love someone, she becomes beautiful to you. I believe the eyes see everything through the heart. Nothing in the world feels as good as resting them on someone you love.

Something good was happening. My life was rising from the ashes, and the sight of it left me feeling something like hopeful.
