You're not too good for the sleep mask-neck pillow combo! You're not too cool for it!

I was always thinking the funny things but was always quiet and scared to be made fun of.

No one's too big for a compliment. A lot of times, people think with celebrities, 'Oh, she knows she's great in that!' Meryl Streep still likes a compliment. I guarantee you, it touches her heart.

I think girls in general need to be more complimentary... It just makes people feel better.

I throw out compliments to strangers all the time, because I would like it back at me, and do unto others.

I've been living out of a suitcase for over a decade.

When you use sleep mask, no one's gonna recognize you. You're gonna look like an idiot, but it's so worth it.

I go into a movie sort of saying what it's not going to be.

There is a place on earth that is a vast desolate wilderness, a place populated by shadows of the dead in their multitudes, a place where the living are dead, where only death, hate and pain exist.

What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.

The willingness to empty ourselves and then seek our true nature is an expression of great and courageous love.

Find what causes a commotion in your heart. Find a way to write about that

I sometimes get tired because I can seldom read a book for pleasure. I'm like the play reviewer who happens to go to a play on an off day and can't help but view it critically.
