“It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.”

“It is because I think so much of warm and sensitive hearts, that I would spare them from being wounded.”

“You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine”

“I defend the authority of women and explore its meaning for them rather than assume they need to be more accommodating or sensitive.”

“But I'd rather help than watch. I'd rather have a heart than a mind. I'd rather expose too much than too little. I'd rather say hello to strangers than be afraid of them. I would rather know all this about myself than have more money than I need. I'd rather have something to love than a way to impress you.”

“There's much more in any given moment than we usually perceive, and that we ourselves are much more than we usually perceive. When you know that, part of you can stand outside the drama of your life.”
