The truth is, aging can be your realest opportunity to decide how best to live - and the best incentive for getting you to do just that.

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.

Life is too short to spend it living for mundane things

If you direct your beliefs and thoughts to always work in your favor, nothing else from the outside would succeed in dethroning you from the throne of your God's given destiny.

Nothing was a more powerful compass of my mood or a better indication of my self-worth than the number on the scale.

Each one of us is bound to make the little circle in which he or she lives better and happier. Bound to see that out of that small circle the widest good may flow.

Nothing grows well in the shade of a big tree.

If I have a mission in life, it is to convince people that everyone is morally motivated - everyone except for psychopaths.

Why don't you swallow razor blades?

Something had gone amiss with men, and the weak ones were dangerous.

Are you still thinking, looking, living, as from an imaginary phenomenal centre? As long as you do that you can never recognise your freedom.

If you have played "six times wrong, one time right" the problem is not quite corrected.
