Sometimes I think we can tell how important it is to risk by how dangerous it is to do so.

Some people always assume that if you mention a problem, you caused it.

In our home we grew up thinking we were Mormons first and human beings second.

What we have most to fear is failure of the heart.

The church belongs to its hierarchy, which is men in power. Those outside the hierarchy, and especially women, are at best only renters and at worst squatters in religious territory.

people are strong despite suffering, not because of it.

Somehow I evolved into a person who ceased to ask permission.
