“Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhhâ€™ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Donâ€™t let someone steal your tenderness. Donâ€™t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things.”
“When people first discover beauty, they tend to linger. Even if they donâ€™t at first recognize it for what it is.”

“In rising financial markets, the world is forever new. The bull or optimist has no eyes for past or present, but only for the future, where streams of revenue play in his imagination.”
