The point of creativity is to express and challenge yourself, to make meaning, to embrace your life.

The notion is called wabi-sabi life, like the cherry blossom, it is beautiful because of its impermanence, not in spite of it, more exquisite for the inevitability of loss.

Sexualization is the performance of sexuality, the performance of sexiness. Girls are super good at that now.

Girls are removing pubic hair before fully having it. They would say I feel cleaner, it's for me, but then they'd say if a boy saw pubic hair down there they'd head for the hills.

I found that in a perverse way our culture and parents are far more comfortable talking about girls' vicitimization than girls' sexual agency.

All girls over age 14 remove pubic hair. The only touching is to remove hair. That's grim.

Marketing to girls constantly presents a hypersexualized idea of girls; they're expected to appear sexy but be cut off from their sexuality.

Displaying yourself as sexy doesn't do anything to increase sexual self-knowledge or pleasure.

Sexualization is imposed from the outside as opposed to sexuality, an understanding of the body's responses and desires and ability to communicate that, cultivated from within.

There is a way hook ups are serving young women. And it was important for me to always talk about how behaviours were serving girls, not just making them the victims.

Saying "yes" [to sexual activity] is a pretty low baseline for sexual experience and I wanted to write about what was happening to girls after "yes."

Without confession, there is no remission of sins.

I will spend an eternity loving you, caring for you, respecting you, showing you every day that I hold you as high as the stars.

hi my name is luke, it rhymes with puke!

You'll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.

It is time to lay to rest the notion that germs jump into people and cause diseases.

It takes people a while to trust you.

Comedy is obviously a matter of personal taste and the world always needs a clown and some people have no taste at all and any clown will do.

A philosophy may explain difficult things, but has no power to change them. The gospel, the story of Jesus' life, promises change.

O my Lord, whatever share of this world You have bestowed on me, bestow it to my enemies, and whatever share of the next world You have for me, give it to my friends. You are enough for me.

Everyone is going to be talking about Chelsea and Liverpool but the others are very tough teams.
