You want to live a life in which the things you have traded your hard-earned money for are quality items that really do uplift your life.

Life would be very dreary if there were no magic. If the real world were only that veil of tears, I just don't think could get up in the morning.

In terms of days and moments lived, you'll never again be as young as you are right now, so spend this day, the youth of your future, in a way that deflects regret. Invest in yourself. Have some fun. Do something important. Love somebody extra. In one sense, you're just a kid, but a kid with enough years on her to know that every day is priceless.

I firmly believe that everyone deserves to live within walking distance of either beauty or convenience, if not both.

Cruelty to animals is an enormous injustice; so is expecting those on the lowest rung of the economic ladder to do the dangerous, soul-numbing work of slaughtering sentient beings on our behalf.

I realize that I'm a mature woman and one of these days, incredible diet or not, I'll be a little old lady.

Compassion in action may be the glorious possibility that could protect our crowded, polluted planet.
