I think it's very pretty. can it be pretty if no one thinks it's pretty? i think it's pretty. if you're the only one? that's pretty pretty. and what about the boys? don't you want them to think you're pretty? i wouldn't want a boy to think i was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought i was pretty.

I don't think i'm an angry person. i think i'm a person who's angry. i'm angry at the bush administration; i'm angry at the right wing media. and by that i don't mean the media is right wing. i mean, there is a part of the media that's not the mainstream media. that's fox, that is 'the wall street journal' editorial page.

Of course people are angry. generation upon generation had jobs at steel mills or whatever - things were going on and it looked like it would always be that way. and then there's these cataclysmic changes and people find themselves out on their arse and they're angry and they want answers. but one thing that's for sure is that those answers will not come in the form of donald j. trump.

I no longer become angry. i not only do not say angry words, i do not even think angry thoughts! if someone does an unkind thing to me i feel only compassion instead of resentment. even upon those who cause suffering i look with deep compassion, knowing the harvest of sorrow that lies in store for them. if there were those who hated me, i would love them in return, knowing that hatred can only be overcome by love, and knowing that there is good in all human beings which can be reached by a loving approach.

Being vulnerable is allowing yourself to trust. that's hard for a lot of people to do. they feel a lot more secure if they kind of put walls around themselves. then they don't have to trust anybody but themselves. but to allow you to trust not only yourself but trust others means - is what's required to be vulnerable, and to have that kind of trust takes courage.

What does labor want? we want more schoolhouses and less jails; more books and less arsenals; more learning and less vice; more leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge; in fact, more of the opportunities to cultivate our better natures, to make manhood more noble, womanhood more beautiful, and childhood more happy and bright.

Embracing yourself is important and i wish that all women would realize how beautiful they are, inside and out.

Hold fast to whatever fragments of love that exist, for sometimes a mosaic is more beautiful than an unbroken pattern.

We seem to live a culture that doesn't want blemishes. the vision of most beautiful models... airbrushed in order to be seen as perfect, infects our notion of how literature should be written.

I have found a very great number of exceedingly beautiful theorems.
