In fiction, you can be as true as you want. Real life is a different story.

Be brave with your life, so others will be brave with theirs.

Nothing that doesn’t push you past your limits can change your life. It’s true of work, it’s true of parenting, and it’s true — a hundred times over — of love.

We build our lives in moments, and even the ones we can't remember become the story of who we are.

The best things about womanhood might possibly even be the conversations. The chatting. The gabbing. The whispering. The hands-on-hips eye-rolling. The yukking-it up.

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

Our lives disappear, even as we live them.
