I have this amazing life.

Cruelty to animals can become violence to humans.

Looking at beautiful things is what makes me the happiest.

I have always felt that the way we treat animals is a pretty good indicator of the compassion we are capable of for the human race.

I'm very touched on a deep level by cruelty to animals.

I think something will soon have to be done to protect people from hacking and blogging and lying and spreading rumors and chasing you down the street. Lives are wrecked that way.

You know, the fashion business is this legendary repository of young girls on their way to getting husbands. I really wanted to work.

I can't remember when I wasn't an animal rights activist.

The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama.

I'm learning how to live in the present and be grateful for what's working rather than look for the 'what's not working' piece.

I had a romantic, 'Aren't I a good girl?' take on divorce, but the truth is that was stupid.

The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it

If there is nothing new under the sun, at least the sun itself is always new, always re-creating itself out of its own inexhaustible fire.

We are all too often told by someone that we are too old, too young, too different, too much the same, and those comments can be devastating.

They come with cold bones in heavy boots. See how they tremble. The folly of man . . .

There’s nothing like a military man, even out of uniform.

Word - that invisible dagger.

A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority.

Flowers don't worry about how they're going to bloom. They just open up & turn toward the light & that makes them beautiful.

Avoid 'shoulding' on others and yourself!

Government is instituted for those who live under it.
