“Women should be tough, tender, laugh as much as possible, and live long lives.”

Living well is an art that can be developed: a love of life and ability to take great pleasure from small offerings and assurance that the world owes you nothing and that every gift is exactly that, a gift.

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time.

There’s a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.

The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation.

Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.

I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn.

Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.

Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!

I sustain myself with the love of family.

Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.

When we find someone who is brave, fun, intelligent, and loving, we have to thank the universe.

I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life.

I believe most plain girls are virtuous because of the scarcity of opportunity to be otherwise.

She won’t bend and break as you’d expect her to, she’s a solid form of bravery and fearlessness and that can’t be undone.

I love the woman I have become today. The one who breathes fire and douse it all at the same time.

Don’t let anyone tell you, you are weak for being a woman.

She had many phases and each was as unique than the other.

Never stop your girl from fulfilling her dreams, identify her hidden wings and let her fly.

Somedays she knows love other days, heartache but each day she is strong.

If one man can destroy everything, why can’t one girl change it?

In a world where everyone wants you to be a damsel in distress, be a raging goddess.
