Homesickness is just a state of mind for me. I’m always missing someone or someplace or something. I’m always trying to get back to some imaginary somewhere. My life has been one long longing.

Prozac Nation (Elizabeth Wurtzel)

Soon you will understand the sweetness of crying, of ears and sorriness and pastries and calves and diaphragms and tongues, each one as soothing as the last, and this is none of it as damning as it sounds, you will enjoy it. You dread and fear it because you know not what it is, but once you feel the softness you will sing through your gags and stuffings and that disposable face of yours will be ours, because you were made to be ours, you were made for health and kindess.
When I say, ‘I love you,’ it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You’re a heck of a person.

I am 23, yet i am still immature enough to think this is kinda funny.
The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kind.
Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.
Happy Birthday Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor!
(February 27, 1932-March 23, 2011)
Her sunny looks often led the critics to overlook her powerful performances and underrate her acting ability, but she has won over her detractors with tenacity and dedication to her craft. She was always striving to push herself to the limit. Revisiting her work is revelatory. Every time you watch her films you discover something new.
-Paul Newman
Is there anyone in this gathering who dares assert that our ladies are inferior to us in culture or intelligence or knowledge or artistic culture?

Henrik Ibsen
The year before he wrote A Doll’s House, Ibsen had proposed that women be allowed to be present at the annual general meeting of the Scandinavian Club, and that they should be made eligible to become librarians there.

No, impassable! Nothing’s impossible.
I am trying to find the courage to be tender in my life. I know that violent people are weak people. Only the gentle are ever really strong.
