"I went to an all-boys high school, and they accepted girls in only the two A.P. classes. They had these archaic rules: for example, girls couldn't wear makeup. I found it so outrageous that an all-boys school could tell girls to not wear makeup! So I went on a campaign. I got a petition signed and everything. If a girl wants to wear makeup to boost confidence, why not?"

For if we trust not as much as we pray, we do not full worship to our Lord in our prayer, and also we tarry and pain our self. The cause is, as I believe, that we know not truly that our Lord is Ground on whom our prayer springeth; and also that we know not that it is given us by the grace of His love. For if we knew this, it would make us to trust to have, of our Lordâ€™s gift, all that we desire. For I am sure that no man asketh mercy and grace with true meaning, but if mercy and grace be first given to him.”

“Pride is bad, stress is good. I don't want to feel confident. I want to feel rage. Endless, all consuming rage.”
“This idea of the body as a feast, it stems from Giuseppe Arcimboldo, moves to Viennese artists like GÃ¼nter Brus, and then you have Salvador DalÃ of course, then much later, Marina AbramoviÄ‡ and Ulay, with their nude series in Italy. It's an ongoing conversation. There was nothing cruel about MÃ©ret's Oppenheim piece.”
