“I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it’s made illegal.”

I’m a last-minute shopper. I end up at the mall or somewhere on Christmas Eve. It’s a shame.

I learned from a very young age that if I pursued the things that truly excited me, that they would reward in more important ways, like happiness.

I attribute a scab to the present state of society. The way the scab looks in its worst state is gross and chaotic and horrible, that’s now, but when it breaks away, there’s a brand new piece of skin that’s stronger than before. It’s like creation out of chaos.

I follow a dairy-free and gluten-free diet, which can be challenging in some places.

Too bad the things that make you mad are my favorite things.

I actually believe ‘Sustainability ‘, as a concept, is one of the arteries leading to the heart of so many of our cultural transitions at play today. And it’s this concept which leads me to bottled water, and its multibillion dollar industry.

Female artists are the perfect example of a creator: They know how to make life and art with their bodies. Life comes from their bodies, so on a very basic level, they have more to write about.

No regrets. Never never any regrets. Everything has been an experience and has led to me now. Everything has been important and essential. Fear…

Never underestimate a dumb question.

I was an illegal alien for many, many years. I couldn’t move. If I moved I could not even get a visa back.

I’d known that the visit would be highly scripted and that genuine interactions with citizens wouldn’t be possible, since it’s illegal for them to speak with foreigners.

Every factory-farmed animal is, as a practice, treated in ways that would be illegal if it were a dog or a cat.

I felt shame for living in a nation of unprecedented prosperity-a nation that spends a smaller percentage of income on food than any other civilization has in human history-but in the name of affordability treats the animals it eats with cruelty so extreme it would be illegal if inflicted on a dog.

All novels are about certain minorities: the individual is a minority.

I think there’s nothing wrong with eating all the time. At least i’m not doing anything illegal.

What is it with conservatives? Seriously, I’m not trying to be partisan but it seems like if they’re anti-illegal alien, they have illegal aliens working for them. If they’re anti-gay, they turn out to be gay. If they’re super Christian, they’re a witch.

No human being is illegal. That is a contradiction in terms. Human beings can be beautiful or more beautiful, they can be fat or skinny, they can be right or wrong, but illegal? How can a human being be illegal?
