"I mostly want to remind her of the recipes of healing, and give her my own made-on-the spot remedy for the easing of her pain. I tell her, â€œGet a pen. Stop crying so you can write this down and start working on it tonight.â€ My remedy is long. But the last item on the list says: â€œWhen you wake up and find yourself living someplace where there is nobody you love and trust, no community, it is time to leave town â€“ to pack up and go (you can even go tonight). And where you need to go is any place where there are arms that can hold you, that will not let you go."

-- Bell Hooks

The governments that led in this slaughter are the former USSR (65 million) and the Peoples Republic of China (35-40 million). The point to remember is that these governments were the idols of America's leftists. Part of the reason for these and other tyrannical successes was because the people were first disarmed.”
“Confidence is everything, but a little makeup can't hurt.”
“I've had different opportunities in my life, but I've tried to maintain the spirit of an amateur. Our culture roots everything in the barometer of success and how much money you make. But if you really just aspire to a life in the arts, it's really not a barometer at all.”
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.”
