I turn off the radio, listen to the quiet. Which has its own, rich sound. Which I knew, but had forgotten. And it is good to remember.

My mind was in my heart, anchored like a bright kite in a safe place.

Don't let your habits become handcuffs

You are born into your family and your family is born into you. No returns. No exchanges.

People say you should give until it hurts. I say you should give until it stops hurting. Know what I mean?

The seasons tell us, everything in organic life tells us, that there is no holding on; still, we try to do just that. Sometimes, though, we learn the kind of wisdom that celebrates the open hand.

You feel the call. That's the important thing. Now answer it as fully as you can. Take the risk to let all that is in you, out. Escape into the open.

Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.

I cried until my eyes swelled shut, and then I slept, a black, dreamless sleep from which I awoke amazingly refreshed, at least until I remembered.

I like to listen to sad music when I’m sad. It seems honest. It makes me cry, and sometimes a good cry is the only thing that can make you feel better.

There is love in holding and there is love in letting go.

My late husband and I started our sons off as readers at a very young age. Today, they are voracious readers.

Most people think that if you do not love yourself fully, no one else will. That is not true. People are perfectly capable of giving love even if they feel less confident about themselves.

True devotion and humility is when you carelessly allow yourself to fall in love with things you consider will make you look inferior, which in essence, makes you superior.

The day of birth is a miraculous day.

Night is my time...am not a vampire but i am a Night Rider....!

Man needs only a small patch of earth for his pleasures, and a smaller one still to rest beneath.

All you need is one thought and one word. When you learn how to connect them, you can do anything you like.

I have inspiration and feelings of being alive most every day I live.

Prison widens your circle of friends. In my stand-up, I can now talk about things that no one else has the right to touch.

When a man makes up a story for his child, he becomes a father and a child together, listening.
