The thorn from the bush one has planted, nourished and pruned pricks more deeply and draws more blood.

Some think, "If I marry this guy who's two inches taller than I am and who has a nice bank account, I won't die. If I buy six cars, I won't die. If I hate Jews, I won't die. If I hate homosexuals, I won't die." They think they will increase their life by shunting misery onto somebody else, but it's just the opposite.

I'm grateful to be of use. I will not be misused or abused, but I will be of use to anybody.

Being thankful helps you to be present.People commit errors because they are not present.I would encourage women and men to be present - you'll avoid falling into certain pits.For instance, if you know that a person has just lost his wife or her husband or lover, it's unlikely that you will say something that will hurt that person's feelings if you're truly paying attention. You'll make a sweeter life for yourself and for those around you if you are present.

Talent is like electricity. We don't understand electricity. We use it.

I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.

We are not just flesh and blood. And our hungers are not going to be set aside as just flesh and blood.
