"What is religion? That which is never spoken."

-- Henry David Thoreau

“Forget that I remember And dream that I forget.”
“Be your own editor/critic. Sympathetic but merciless!”
“Turn on the dream you lived through the unwavering gaze. It is as you thought: the living burn. In the floating days may you discover grace.”

“I write down everything I eat and count the calories so I don't go over a certain amount. Everyone should do this if they are dieting or not. I think we all would be shocked by it.”
“There are many women who came before me who didn't really have the same opportunities that I have had. That's why I always wanted to be a great ambassador - not only today's generation - but for the women who really didn't have a voice, but who paved the way for me.”
“Create your own individual style. I'm not interested in the girl who walks into my office in a HEAD-to-TOE LABEL look that's straight off the runway. I'm interested in a Girl who puts herself together in an ORIGINAL INDEPENDENT Way”
“What ought a man be? Well, my short answer is 'himself'.”
“We look down our noses at people who've made mistakes in relationships. She's so stupid! How could she do that! Our superiority makes us feel better. But Iâ€™d bet everything I have on the fact that people to claim to have a perfect record in love are either lying or have very limited dating experience. People who say, Iâ€™d never do that! Someday, unless you are very, very lucky, youâ€™ll have a story to tell. Or not to tell.”
